WanderWunder Schwyz: Rigi Hinter Dosse
With the Kräbel-Rigi Scheidegg aerial cableway, you reach the starting point of the hike. With views of Lake Lucerne and the Alps - even Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau greet you from afar - you hike along the ridge to the Hinter Dosse junction and then to Dosse. You will be rewarded with a phenomenal view for the somewhat steep ascent. For the also steep descent toward Unterstetten, poles are recommended. Via the Seeweg you reach Hinter Dosse again, from where you can comfortably reach Rigi Scheidegg on the route of the old Kaltbad-Scheidegg railway.
