Rigi Kaltbad - Känzeli - Geissrüggen - Müserenalp - Steiglen - Rigi Kaltbad

A route full of highlights. Queen Victoria of England was already impressed by the phenomenal view at Rigi Känzeli during her visit in 1868.

The hike starts at the "village square" Rigi Kaltbad. After the rock chapel, the flat path leads from Rigi Kaltbad through shady woodland areas, past interesting rock formations, to the viewpoint Känzeli. Then the path continues along the Geissrüggen to Müserenalp. The ascent via Steiglen back to Rigi Kaltbad requires good fitness. Attention: The descent via Geissrüggen includes aluminum ladders and you must be free from dizziness.
