Seebodenalp - Grodboden - Holderen - Düssen - Rigi Staffel

Many hiking options lead from Seebodenalp to the Rigi.

The starting point of this challenging hike on the north slope of the Rigi is the hiking paradise of Seebodenalp. It is situated on a large, protruding terrace at 1020 m.a.s.l. above Küssnacht am Rigi. Lake Lucerne glistens at your feet and Rigi Kulm towers high above. The fastest and most comfortable way to reach the forest-lined alp is by cable car from Küssnacht to Seebodenalp. Rustic mountain restaurants invite you to enjoy and stay a while.

 

Notes

The current operating status of the railways and hiking trails can be found here. So that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, we ask you to dispose of your waste at the stations or take it home with you. Thank you.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

As a reward, I treat myself to a cool Rigi beer at the Lok 7 restaurant on Rigi Staffel. Brewed at the Hotel Seebodenalp.
