Below the summit of Rigi Kulm lies the alpine restaurant Chäserenholz, where the first refreshment is offered. Not only a gastronomy with regional products, but also overnight accommodations, a cheese dairy that can be visited and alpine wellness, with unbeatable views are offered.
The cozy guest rooms (2 - 4 beds) with bath/toilet on the floor or the dormitory offer space for individuals, families or groups. Included is the hearty Älpler breakfast with homemade specialties.
Another marching stop follows on the alp Trieb. The flavorful alpine cheese is a unique treat and is made from the best Rigi alpine milk, carefully handcrafted.

After arriving at Rigi Klösterli, it is worthwhile to stop for a short break at the «Maria zum Schnee» chapel, where you can reflect on the wonderful day's hike.
