From the cold Kulm to the cold bath
Instead of following the railroad directly from Rigi Kulm to Rigi Staffel, we recommend first descending on the signposted trail to the Kulmhütte. From there, a wide winter hiking trail leads in the direction of Rigi Staffel, taking a short detour along country roads. From Staffel, we follow the railroad to Staffelhöhe. Then follow the always well-trodden winter panoramic trail to the panoramic Rigi Känzeli, from where a well-maintained winter hiking trail leads to Rigi Kaltbad.

- From the Kulmhütte about 200 meters down to the Alpwirtschaft Chäserenholz. A romantic parlor and alpine fare await you there - 7 days a week, all year round!
