From Rigi Scheidegg, you walk leisurely along the Panorama Trail up to Hinter Dossen, where the path branches off and leads to Rigi Dossen. From the summit, it goes down to Unterstetten. You walk around the Würenstock, with views towards the Rigi Kulm summit and over the Mythen. Behind the Würenstock you have the choice: Either follow the impressive rock path to Rigi Kaltbad-First or stay on the equally beautiful Panorama Trail, which is laid out on the route of the former Rigi Scheidegg-Kaltbad railway.
At the Känzeli viewpoint, it is worth pausing to enjoy the magnificent panorama before starting the descent to Seebodenalp. This hike can also be done in the reverse direction, but it is then significantly more strenuous.
Notes
You can find the current operational status of the railways and hiking trails here.
To ensure that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, please dispose of your waste at the stations or take it home with you. Thank you.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
I like to visit the Hotel Rigi Kaltbad during a stopover to refuel with delicious dishes before the descent to Seebodenalp.
