This exciting circular hike, away from the well-trodden paths, allows you to fully enjoy the unspoiled nature. The flora shows itself in its most diverse aspect and the mountain peaks seem within reach.
The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
Notes
The current operating status of the cable cars and hiking trails can be found here.
So that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, we ask you to dispose of your waste at the Rigi railways stations. Thank you.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
I usually buy the spicy alpine cheese from Alp Altstafel directly from the herdsman during the summer months.
