The Alpine Experience Trail Rigi delights the whole family
With Reto and his Saint Bernard dog Barry, children can explore the alp on the Alpine Experience Trail. A picture book, which also includes a puzzle, leads from station to station. Once all stations have been visited and the correct solution word found, a small surprise can be collected at one of the Rigi Bahn stations - whether Rigi Staffel, Rigi Scheidegg, Kaltbad, Vitznau, or Goldau. The picture book of Reto and Barry can be obtained at the aforementioned Rigi Bahn stations.
