Rigi Kulm Ridge
Informationen zur Route
Best Time of Year
Description
This route is ideal if you're keen to avoid the well-beaten paths and get back to nature for some peace and quiet. It starts off with a clear view above the tree line of the majestic Mythen mountains and the impressive landslide area at Rossberg. Today you can still see where 20 million cubic metres of rock came crashing down in 1806 and buried the village of Goldau. The lower part of the trail takes you through romantic mountain forests on the way to Klösterli. This is where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stayed when he first visited Switzerland in 1775. Inspired by the enchanting Mt. Rigi, he felt "surrounded by the splendour of the world".
