This leisurely hike from Rigi Kulm to Rigi Kaltbad reveals the scenic beauty of the Queen of the Mountains as well as its culinary delicacies.

Via Vitznau the journey starts with the cogwheel train to Rigi Kulm. The hike leads to the alpine cheese dairy Chäserenholz, where after a tour a fresh cheese plate with a glass of white wine is waiting for you. Afterwards we continue to the restaurant Lok 7, where a fine lunch with Central Swiss specialties will strengthen body and soul for the last part of the hike. In the afternoon, the trail leads via Rigi Staffel to Rigi Kaltbad. A short detour over the Rigi Rotstock with its incomparable panoramic view of Lake Lucerne impressively rounds off the hike. From Rigi Kaltbad, the return journey is by cogwheel train to Vitznau or by aerial cable car to Weggis.
