Seebodenalp – Alp Ruodisegg  - Alp Räb – Chänzeli – Rigi Staffel – Seebodenalp 

An impressive mountain experience awaits you, featuring breathtaking panoramic views and untouched nature.

The hiking paradise Seebodenalp is located on a large, fore terrace at 1020 m above sea level above Küssnacht: At your feet glitters Lake Lucerne and high above towers Rigi Kulm. The alpine pasture, surrounded by forest, is reachable fastest and most comfortably by the Küssnacht – Seebodenalp aerial cableway.

Rustic mountain restaurants invite you to enjoy and linger. 

Notes

You can find the current operating status of the cable cars and hiking trails here.
