Rigi First Circular route

Rigi Kaltbad - Rigi First - Rigi Kaltbad
The First route is an easy yet scenic hiking trail that leads through the magical Rigi winter wonderland.
The easy-to-walk path takes you from the village square of Kaltbad to Rigi First. On the flat and very easily walkable path with wonderful views of Lake Lucerne, special attention is due to the reformed mountain church by Zurich architect Ernst Giesel as well as the typical snow-covered conglomerate cliffs. From the sunny terrace at First, the idyllic upper First path leads back to Kaltbad. A delightful circular route without any exertion.
Notes
You can find the current operational status of the railways and trails here.
So that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of Mountains, please dispose of your waste at the Rigi Bahn stations. Thank you.
Author’s recommendation
I can warmly recommend a stay at the Mineral Bath & Spa Rigi Kaltbad to conclude the hike.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
