The most popular sledge run on the Rigi. It runs from Rigi Kulm via Rigi Staffel to Rigi Klösterli.

Central Switzerland: Toboggan run with spectacular view.

The 3.1 kilometre long trail leads from Rigi Kulm along the tracks of the Rigi Railways to Rigi Staffel. From Rigi Staffel on, the path becomes steep and the speed increases quickly. The trail then heads downhill to Rigi Klösterli, where you will be chauffeured by the Rigi shuttle train back to the start point. Sledging does not require any special technicalskills and can be practiced by anyone.
