Rigi Scheidegg - Hinter Dossen - Unterstetten - First - Rigi Kaltbad          

From Rigi Scheidegg, you hike comfortably on the panorama trail with views to Rigi Kulm and the Mythen. Behind the Würzenstock you have the choice: either follow the impressive rock trail to Rigi Kaltbad-First, with views of the Bürgenstock and the Bernese Alps, or stay on the panorama trail. In Rigi Kaltbad, the Mineral Bath & Spa invites you to relax your tired hiking muscles in warm water.

The panorama trail is the route of the former Rigi Kaltbad - Scheidegg railway, which was in operation from 1875 to 1931.
