- Start: Brunnen
- Destination: Rigi-Scheidegg
At the beginning of the approximately 2 ½-hour hike, you stroll leisurely along the lake promenade of Brunnen, before going uphill. Don't underestimate this steep climb towards Urmiberg. Once at the top, the fabulous view of the Schwyzer basin and Lake Uri will open up for you.
The small detour to Gottertli you should definitely make into your plan. From the Gottertli, the small and the big myths as well as the lakes of Zug and Lauerz are spectacular to see. Once you have reached the Gaetterlipass, continue uphill towards Rigi Burggeist. About 30 minutes later you will reach the destination. A fantastic 360 ° panoramic view of the Rigi Scheidegg Arche as well as refreshing food and drink in the mountain inns make up for the hiking exertions. The Kraebel cable car takes you via Rigi Bahnen to Goldau, where there are SBB connections to all directions.
