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.

To ensure that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, please dispose of your rubbish at the stations or take it home with you. Thank you.
