The 8-kilometer long, classically groomed trail leads from Rigi Kaltbad to Rigi Scheidegg and follows the mostly flat route of the former Rigi-Scheidegg railway. You start at Rigi Kaltbad, where deposit lockers and changing rooms can be used. Via Rigi First, you reach Rigi Scheidegg after 7 kilometers. The panoramic view of the Alps, Lake Lucerne, and the Schwyz basin invites you to take breaks again and again. A sporty delight for body and soul awaits you. You can rent cross-country ski equipment at the sports shop in Rigi Kaltbad.
