    A very interesting hike in a rather unknown Rigi area, which is easily accessible both on foot and with snowshoes.

    From mid-March, the cable car from Brunnen to the Urmiberg including the mountaintop restaurant is back in operation. A good moment to – snow remnants or not – be carried up there and ascend to the panoramic Gottertli. The journey continues on the northern side beneath the Rigi Hochflue to the next cozy restaurant on the Gätterlipass, before ascending a panoramic ridge via Rigi Burggeist to Rigi Scheidegg. A beautiful tour for the transition period – whether with hiking boots or snowshoes on your feet.
