The ridge hike from Rigi Kaltbad to Rigi Scheidegg is even more beautiful in winter than in summer. And above all – depending on mood and desire, you can (best with snowshoes) tramp over the Schilt and over the Dosse, or you hike on the former railway track, which is always groomed as a winter hiking trail. Or you climb the two panoramic hills and return to Kaltbad on the winter hiking trail. The classic is the full crossing to Rigi Scheidegg – and beyond that an actual snowshoe delight.
Author’s recommendation
Before the ascent to Dosse, the detour to the panoramic restaurant Unterstetten – known for large portions at moderate prices is worthwhile.
