Rigi northern flank

There are certainly easier ways to enjoy the legendary Rigi panorama, but hardly more exciting ones. The path leads through picturesque forests, follows narrow rock ledges, and even squeezes under Nagelfluh overhangs. With increasing altitude, the view opens up over Lake Zug and as far as the Vosges and the Black Forest. After Tristenboden, the alpine key points of the route follow, colloquially called “Füedlibaggen”. Ladders, wire ropes, and iron rungs lead over steep rock passages that would otherwise be inaccessible to the alpine hiker. At Rigi Kulm, you briefly immerse yourself in a colorful tourist bustle before starting the descent to Rigi Dächli.
