On this leisurely hike, you enjoy the view in all directions. Whether Säntis in the east, Feldberg in the north, the gigantic Bernese Alps in the west or the Uri Alps in the south, all of this seems within reach. You take the rack railway from Goldau to Kräbel station. There you change to the Kräbel - Rigi Scheidegg aerial cableway. From Rigi Scheidegg you walk comfortably along the panorama trail to Unterstetten. There you leave the old railway track of the Kaltbad-Scheidegg railway and walk slightly downhill to Rigi Klösterli. From there, you return to Goldau with the rack railway.
The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
