Below the summit of Rigi Kulm lies the alpine inn Chäserenholz, where the first refreshment is offered. Not only a gastronomy with regional products, but also overnight accommodations, a dairy that can be visited, and alpine wellness with unbeatable views are offered.
The cozy guest rooms (2 - 4 beds) with bath/WC on the floor or the dormitory provide space for individuals, families, or groups. Included is the hearty alpine breakfast with homemade specialties.
Another stop follows at Alp Trieb. The spicy alpine cheese is a unique gourmet delight and is produced from the best Rigi alpine milk with the utmost care.
Upon reaching Rigi Klösterli, a short visit to the chapel "Maria zum Schnee" is worthwhile, where the wonderful hiking day can be reflected upon in your thoughts.
