Rigi Kloesterli – untere Schwaendihütte – Schwaendi – Alp Chaeserenholz – Rigi Kulm

A short hike, which has it in itself. Over a distance of about 4 km you will climb almost 500 metres.

This challenging route is suitable for mountain climbers who like to take a mountain walk. From the pilgrimage site of Rigi Kloesterli, with its Baroque chapel which definetly worth a visit, the path leads then steadily uphill to Alp Schwaendi. On Chaeserenholz you should definitely visit the local alpine dairyman and try his tasty Rigi cheese. The idyllic Alpbeiz invites you to take a well-earned break. Enjoy the view of the snow-covered mountain peaks before tackling the last ascent.

Finally you will reach Rigi Kulm, the highest point of the Rigi, where the panoramic view of the Mittelland and the Alps will reward the efforts of this summit tour.
