- Destination: Rigi Scheidegg
The route starts at the highest peak of the Rigi and promises a gigantic panoramic view from Säntis to the Bernese Alps. This hike is an extension of the well-known “Panoramaweg”, which begins further down at Rigi Kaltbad and leads to Rigi Scheidegg. It follows the track of the old railway line of the Rigi Kaltbad-Scheidegg Bahn and uses its existing infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels.
Notes
