Mountaineering

The section just below the Tristenboden up to the Rigi, it's really fun, it goes over several chain passages in the quite exposed area up to the summit. You have mega great views of Lake Zug and over to Pilatus. The view over the Nagelfluh bands is also sensational. However, you should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights. An absolute pleasure for all those who like alpine terrain.

Mountaineering

This is the most direct route over several sections, some of which are very steep - secured with ropes and chains but rather difficult when wet. But the spots can also be easily bypassed. But I only found the direct route in the fog

Mountaineering

A via ferrata set also works with the holding bolts, although it is a bit laborious. Nevertheless, it can be helpful to avoid injuries, as on the steep climb through forests and meadows it is inevitable that the soles of your shoes will become muddy and slippery. You may then not be able to find a proper grip on the pebbles of the conglomerate.
