Enjoy the unique 360° panoramic view on the 7 km long panorama hiking trail. This route is ideal for passionate hikers.
Many interesting contempororay witnesses of the former Rigi-Scheidegg Railway can be discovered along this way. This route takes you through the old railway bridge, then a tunnel, pass by a disused passenger couch and a water filling station for the steam locomotives. The view of the Alps and the Schwyz basin is just magnificent. From Rigi Scheidegg you can take the cable car back to Goldau via Kräbel.
This hike can also be taken in the opposite direction.
For your information
You can find the current operating status of the railways and hiking trails here.
In order to let our next generation also be inspired from the Queen of the Mountains, may we ask you to dispose of the waste at Rigi Stations. Thank you.
