For me, it would be Rigi. Others will say Pilatus. No wrong choice. I’d suggest watching some you tube videos and see which appeals more to you.

Mt Rigi, especially if you have the Swiss Travel Pass, which covers the boat and cogwheel. Have a great time!

I’ve been to both….and my vote is for Pilatus, but I love mountains. I think the view from Pilatus is phenomenal on a sunny day. You can see the mountains above the Lauterbrunen valley.
We ate lunch on the large deck, overlooking the valley and mountains, and watched the cogwheel trains going up and down the hillside.
We explored numerous trails at the top.
Of course, as Pat pointed out, Rigi is free with STP.

Six of one, half dozen of the other. They're both mountains with fun methods getting up and down them, and with beautiful views. I'd do as advised above and watch some YouTube videos of each and pick one. I only went to Pilatus and it was one of my most memorable experiences in my European travels.
