The Rigi Alpine Experience Trail entices hikers into the world of alpine life. You will experience natural alpine landscapes, fantastic panoramic views and learn all kinds of things about the life of our alpine herdsmen and women on the Rigi.

The easy trail leads from Rigi Staffel to Rigi Scheidegg or vice versa. At various stations, Margrit tells you about her life on the alp. Visitors can also delve further into the world of alpine farmers and find out where delicious Rigi alpine products can be purchased.

The Rigi Alpine Experience Trail delights the whole family

Children can explore the alp on the alp adventure trail with Reto and his Swiss mountain dog Barry. A booklet, which also contains a riddle, leads from post to post. Once all the posts have been visited and the correct answer has been found, a small surprise can be picked up at one of the Rigi Railway stations - be it Rigi Staffel, Rigi Scheidegg, Kaltbad, Vitznau or Goldau. Reto and Barry's booklet can be obtained at the Rigi Railway stations mentioned above.
