Pass between Rigi-Hohflue and Rigi Scheidegg. Cozy restaurant. Beautiful viewpoint slightly above.

It's nice that the restaurant is heated and that they have almond croissants and cold Ovomaltine. That gives me renewed energy for the descent to the saddle.

A beautiful destination. Even when the mountain inn is closed, a small kiosk is open on some days.

The Wildspitz is a prime spot for cycling, whatever your discipline. At the top, you can admire iconic Alpine peaks such as the Säntis, but also several lakes in the valley, such as Lauerz.
