Destination: Rigi Klösterli

The most popular and simultaneously challenging sledg run on Mt. Rigi offers breathtaking views and a dose of adrenaline

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. No previous experience is required for sledging, but respect, quick reactions, good ability to judge and good footwear are important for everyone's safety.

For your information

Dogs are not permitted on the toboggan runs.
