Rigi Kaltbad - Kaenzeli - Rigi Kaltbad

When Mt. Rigi wrapped herself in a wintery white dress, it is the time to be invited by the Queen of the Mountains to have fun in the snow. On Rigi Kaltbad, a panoramic winter hiking trail awaits you.

Visit the pretty rock chapel at the starting point of this easy walk. Small icicles are formated in a crevice which as seen just next to the chapel. Here is exactly where the Kaltbad spring flows even in nowadays and attracted tourists as early as the 16th century. It was the initial way of the wellness, which lasts until today in the modern Mineral Bath and Spa Kaltbad from the star architect Mario Botta. The flat path leads through the wintry fairytale forest, past interesting rock formations, to the magnificent Kaenzeli vista point. There you have a phenomenal panoramic view of the Kreuztrichter of Lake Lucerne, Lucerne and the crowning panorama of the Alps. In 1868 Queen Victoria of England visited here and wrote her enthusiasm in her diary.
