Central Switzerland: panoramic circular trailThis exciting circular hike, off the beaten track, allows you to really enjoy the unspoilt nature.
The flora shows off itself from its most varied side and the mountain peaks seem close enough to touch.
The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
For your information
The current operating status of the cable cars and hiking trails can be found here.
In order to let our next generation could also enjoy the beauty of the Rigi, we would like to ask you to dispose of your own waste in the waste bins which are located at all the stations of RIGI BAHNEN AG. Thank you.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
I love to buy some spicy alpine cheese from the alp Altstafel during the summer months, which produced directly from the alpine dairyman.
