Vitznau railway station (German: Bahnhof Vitznau) is a railway station and ferry terminal in the municipality of Vitznau, in the Swiss canton of Lucerne. It is the terminus of the standard gauge Vitznau–Rigi line of Rigi Railways.[4] The Lake Lucerne Navigation Company (SGV) operates regular ferry service to Lucerne and Flüelen, on Lake Lucerne.
Layout
[edit]The railway portion of the station has a single island platform with two tracks. A turntable allows trains to reach the Rigi Railways depot, adjacent to the station but at almost a ninety-degree angle from it, parallel to Lake Lucerne. The Lake Lucerne Navigation Company station building and piers are adjacent as well, on the shores of the lake. Auto AG Schwyz buses load and unload on Seestrasse, to the rear of the station facilities.
