Weggis - Rigi Kaltbad, via Steiglen

From the Weggis boat station, we walk to the village square and turn left towards the valley station of the Weggis - Rigi Kaltbad aerial cableway. The hiking trail continues along the road to the right of the station and then along a narrow path through a meadow and forest until we reach the Rigi road again. Continue along the road to the right. After about 700 metres, you can climb up a path on the left to avoid the bend in the road. You soon reach the Säntiberg hill. Follow the road, cross the Chienbach stream and then turn right. After the pasture and a wooded area, you will soon see the next section of the trail: a fairly steep climb up the rock face! The exciting path leads over steps that are safe to walk on. The effort is worth it - you are rewarded with fantastic views. Then we enter open, flatter alpine terrain again. After a short, steep passage through the forest, we find ourselves below the village of Rigi Kaltbad. We walk past the terrace house and the new residential tower to the village square of Rigi Kaltbad.

We take the aerial cableway back to Weggis in comfort.
