On the first section, a fantastic view down to Lake Lucerne and the snow-covered Alps on the southern horizon impresses.
Are you a pleasure walker? Then you definitely should not miss this route. The wide hiking trail runs along the track of the former Rigi-Scheidegg railway. From the Bärenstube First, it then leads through a light mountain forest with a view of the two Mythen, majestically towering over the Schwyz basin.
Notes
The current operational status of the railways and hiking trails can be found here.
To ensure that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, please dispose of your rubbish at the stations of the Rigi railways. Thank you.
