The starting point of this effortless high-altitude hike is the Rigi Staffel railway station. On the Känzeli viewing platform you can take a break and enjoy the spectacular low view of the cross funnel of Lake Lucerne.
The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
Author’s recommendation
A refreshing bath after the hike in the Mineralbad & SPA in Rigi Kaltbad relaxes muscles and senses and gives strength for everyday life.
