- Start: Rigi Kulm
- Destination: Rigi Kaltbad
The journey starts via Vitznau with the cogwheel railway to Rigi Kulm. The hike leads to the alpine dairy Chäserenholz, where after a visit, a fresh cheese platter with a glass of white wine awaits. It then continues to the restaurant Lok 7, where a fine lunch with Central Swiss specialties strengthens body and mind for the last part of the hike. In the afternoon, it goes via Rigi Staffel to Rigi Kaltbad. A small detour via Rigi Känzeli with its incomparable panoramic view of Lake Lucerne rounds off the hike impressively. From Rigi Kaltbad, the return journey is by cogwheel railway to Vitznau or by cable car to Weggis.
