Rigi Kulm - Alp Chäserenholz - Schwändi - Alp Trieb - Rigi Klösterli

Along lush meadows, this alpine pleasure trail passes by two alpine cheese dairies.

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.

 

Information

The current operating status of the railroads and hiking trails can be found here.

To ensure that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, we kindly ask you to dispose of your waste at the stations of the Rigi Railways. Thank you. 

 

If time permits, I will be happy to treat myself to a whey bath at the Chäserenholz alpine cheese dairy. Please register. Tel. 041 855 02 06
