It has two rack railways: the one that climbs from Vitznau, on the lakeshore, and the one that climbs from Arth-Goldau, where the SBB train stops. It also runs the Weggis cable car to Rigi Kaltbad and several small installations on the mountain. The two rack railways meet at the summit, at Rigi Kulm, at 1,797 m.
