View of the Mythen Peaks

Highlight • Viewpoint

At a height of less than 2,000 meters, the peaks of the Kleiner and Großer Mythen are not particularly high by Swiss standards, but are still very striking and easy to see from any direction. From this vantage point you have a particularly great view of the Mythen peaks.

Rigi Kulm summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Rigi Staffel

Highlight • Rest Area

If you are walking all the way up from the valley floor this is a great little stop on the way up or down.

Rigi Klösterli

Highlight • Settlement

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.
