Rigi Kaltbad - Rigi First - Rigi Kaltbad
The First trail is a simple but panoramic hiking trail that leads through the enchanting Rigi winter wonderland.
The easy walk leads you from the village square Kaltbad to Rigi First. On the flat and very easy walkway with a magnificent view of Lake Lucerne, the reformed mountain church by Zurich architect Ernst Giesel and the typical snow-covered "Nagelfluh" walls deserve special attention. From the First sun terrace, the idyllic upper First Trail leads back to Kaltbad. An enjoyable round trip without any strain.
