Best Time of Year
Description
Arriving at the mountain station of the Brunnen – Urmiberg cable car, this tour first takes you over the gently curved southern ridge of the Rigi. From the valley, the Lauerzer and Zug lakes greet you and on the horizon stand the eastern Alps with the Säntis massif. The exhausting first section leads you from Gätterli to Rigi Scheidegg, where you are rewarded with a fantastic 360° panoramic view.
On the second hiking section, you pass through romantic hills and meadow landscapes. The lake path merges into the rocky path that leads you along the vertical Nagelfluh wall and offers spectacular views deep down to Lake Lucerne. The final section from Rigi First to Rigi Kaltbad is on the trackbed of the former Rigi-Scheidegg railway.
