- Destination: Rigi Klösterli
On this leisurely hike, enjoy views in all directions. Whether it's the Säntis in the east, the Feldberg in the north, the gigantic Bernese Alps in the west or the Uri Alps in the south, all of this seems close enough to touch. Take the cogwheel railway from Goldau to Kräbel station. There you change to the cable car Kräbel - Rigi Scheidegg. From Rigi Scheidegg you hike leisurely along the Panorama Trail to Unterstetten. There you leave the old railway track of the Kaltbad-Scheidegg Bahn and hike slightly downhill to Rigi Klösterli. There you take the rack railway back to Goldau.
The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
