Hello, earlier we were planning to do both of them on separate days but due to some changes in our trip, we are thinking if we can do both Mt. Rigi and Stoos in one day?
We will start from Zurich early in the morning.
Is this doable? If yes, which order is best? Rigi then Stoos or reverse?
Also, We will not be doing any hikes at either of the places. I know Stoos ridge hike is famous but we are not doing that. It will be just a visit for views and looking around.
Thank you!!
I couldn't do it. Why not just pick one? We spent a full day on Rigi. But it was slow and casual.
Logistically it might be possible, especially in June when the days are long. But it sounds too exhausting for me. Also you'd have to really think through the transportation details. Personally between the two, I'd pick Stoos, because I love the east end of Lake Lucerne, but both are nice.
No. Either is a full day trip. Pick one.

Morning at one mountain, afternoon at the other. This is something that I would do. :-) When I have a pass I like to go up a mountain, enjoy the view for a while and come back down. Even if I don't have much time to spend up there, I still go. It's a matter of preference - perhaps not what everyone would do, but it most certainly can be done!
If you are traveling with a Saver Day Pass or a Swiss Travel Pass it will all be at no extra cost since these two mountains are in the GA travel area.
