From there you can reach the Rigi railway station Staffelhöhe in a few minutes or, if you still have reserves, you can comfortably continue hiking to the Station Staffel.

Snowshoeing requires no special technical skills and can be practiced by anyone, even on the prepared winter hiking trails.

You can rent the necessary equipment at the rental center Rigi-Sport-Kiosk Rigi Kaltbad.
