Rigi Scheidegg - Hinter Dossen - Rigi Scheidegg

The Dossenhüttli circular route is an easy yet scenic hike that leads through the enchanting landscape of the Rigi.

The pleasant circular route on Rigi Scheidegg begins at the mountain station of the Kräbel - Rigi Scheidegg aerial cableway and follows a mostly flat and easy-to-walk path with a wonderful view of Lake Zug down to Hinter Dossen. There the path leads along the south side of the Scheidegg with views of the unspoiled mountain landscape and Lake Lucerne back to the starting point.
