The cogwheel railway takes you to Rigi Kulm at 1'797 metres above sea level, where a 360-degree panoramic view awaits you. The view sweeps over the imposing, snow-covered Alpine chain, 13 lakes, the Swiss Plateau as far as the Black Forest and the Vosges mountains.

You can cover the stretch from Rigi Kulm to Rigi Kaltbad by cogwheel railway or on foot, a hike of around 1 hour. In Rigi Kaltbad, you have the option of visiting the Mineralbad & Spa Rigi Kaltbad to visit, enjoy a hike or a delicious meal.
