Rigi Kulm - Schwändi - Rigi Klösterli

This almost 4 km long, fast and rather steep trail ensures you lots of fun and speed.

Central Switzerland: scenic toboggan run

Stimulate is guaranteed on this toboggan run. The trail from Rigi Kulm via Schwändi begins at the very end of the Rigi train tracks. It leads from Rigi Kulm and past the Chäserenholz alpine cheese farm to Schwändi then down to Rigi Klösterli. From Klösterli, sports shuttle trains take the tobogganers back to the start point at Rigi Kulm. No previous experience is required for sledging, but respect, quick reactions, good ability to judge and good footwear are important for everyone's safety.
