Take the cog railway from Goldau or Vitznau up to Rigi Kulm. Behind the mountain chapel, a wide hiking trail leads down to the Rigi Staffel station. This effortless high-altitude hike offers you magnificent views over the Swiss midlands to the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains. Be enchanted by spectacular sweeping views of the Vierwaldstättersee and Zugersee lakes. Awaiting you is a high level of enjoyment with minimal effort.
The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
