The third-highest Rigi summit offers a magnificent 360° panorama with views of Lake Lucerne, the Mythen mountains and the distant Bernese Alps.
 

“My absolute favorite summit on the Rigi is the Dossen. The phenomenal panoramic view is worth it every time. I always sit down on the “Fuchsbank” and let my gaze wander over Lake Lucerne, the Bernese Alps and the Mythen and just enjoy! The bench on the Dossen got its name “Fuchsbank” not because of the fox, but because the Fuchs family, who own a vacation home on Rigi Scheidegg, often hiked up the Dossen with their children at sunrise or sunset. The only thing missing was a place to sit. Without further ado, the family started planning and then carried all the equipment to the summit on their backs. Truly a feat of strength. Now I can enjoy the special atmosphere on the third-highest Rigi summit even more, and so can every Rigi guest.” - Rita Baggenstos
