Visiting the Alp RuodiseggPhoto: Rigi Marketing, RIGI BAHNEN AG
Rigi Kaltbad – Känzeli – Alp Räb – Chrüzboden – Alp Ruodisegg – Seebodenalp - Küssnacht am Rigi
From the starting point at Rigi Kaltbad to the destination Küssnacht am Rigi, you will overcome about 1000 meters in altitude. The path section from Känzeli to Räbalp has some steep but harmless parts.
As an ideal warm-up phase, walk on a flat route to the fantastic viewpoint Känzeli. Here you will also find a memorial plaque with Goethe’s diary entry on the occasion of his Rigi visit.
Although Queen Victoria of England rode the following section on horseback, the second part can be walked comfortably. A steep but harmless uphill path leads you through shady forest areas, over Alp Räb and Chrüzboden, to the cozy alpine inn Ruodisegg. From there, the path becomes flatter again up to Seebodenalp and then gently descends to Küssnacht, where Wilhelm Tell once ended Gessler in the Hohlen Gasse.
Notes
The current operational status of the railways and hiking trails can be found here.
To ensure that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, please dispose of your waste at the stations of the Rigi railways. Thank you.
Author’s recommendation

Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
