Rigi Kulm summitPhoto: RIGI BAHNEN AG
Rigi Kulm – Rigi Staffel – Staffelhöhe – Känzeli – Rigi Kaltbad
Discover Rigi now, the gateway to the Alps. This route is very popular among hikers of all ages. You will steadily walk downhill, covering a good 300 meters of elevation loss.
This effortless elevation hike offers you magnificent views over the Swiss plateau all the way to the Black Forest and the Vosges. Let yourself be enchanted by spectacular views down to Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug. You can expect a great pleasure with minimal effort, as the path leads steadily downhill. The panoramic view from the Känzeli viewpoint is simply fantastic. Queen Victoria of England was already there in 1868 and praised the majestic panoramic view.
Notes
You can find the current operating status of railways and hiking trails here.

Author’s recommendation
I am more than fascinated by the breathtaking view at Rigi Känzeli. There is also a barbecue area and various seating options inviting you to a snack break.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
