The first section offers a fantastic view of Lake Lucerne and the snow-capped Alps on the southern horizon.
Are you a pleasure walker? Then you should definitely not miss out on this tour. The wide hiking trail runs along the route of the former Rigi-Scheidegg Railway. From the Bärenstube First, it then leads through a sparse mountain forest with views of the two Mythen mountains, which tower majestically over the Schwyz valley basin.
Hints
You can find the up-to-date operating status of the railways and hiking trails here.
In order to let our next generation also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, may we ask you to dispose of the waste at Rigi Stations. Thank you.
