Rigi Klösterli

Here you will find the Hotel “Zum Goldenen Hirschen”. A nice place to stop for a break when ascending or descending from the Rigi. Just two minutes from the train station.

The highest peak of the Rigi is the Rigi Kulm (1,797 meters). You can ascend via various hiking trails, all of which are very beautiful, or take the Arth-Rigi-Bahn railway up. From the summit, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Lake Zug and sometimes a sea of clouds. The sunrise on the Rigi is particularly impressive. It is worth getting up early for this unforgettable experience.

With the Rigi-Bahn, we traveled up the mountain of the same name to the Rigi Kaltbad station. We were welcomed there by alphorn blowers and a flag swinger. This was a great start to our tour. After we could finally tear ourselves away, we went over the Känzeliweg - past the Felsenkapelle - to the Känzeli. Again and again, there …

August 20, 2023,🇨🇭 Rigi: Kaltbad, Känzeli, Staffel, Kulm, Felsenweg

Ride the cable car from Weggis to Rigi-Kaltbad.

We bridged the section from Rigi-Staffel to Rigi-Kulm with the Rigi-Bahn due to the high temperatures and the altitude difference. The way back from Rigi-Kaltbad was …
