Rigi Kaltbad – lower First Trail – First – upper First Trail – Rigi Kaltbad

The Rigi First Trail is an easy yet scenic hiking path that can be easily walked with a stroller.

The easily walkable promenade leads you from the modest village square of Rigi Kaltbad along a partly paved road to Rigi First. Along the way, a small playground and benches invite you to linger. On the stroller- and wheelchair-friendly promenade, special attention should be paid to the reformed mountain church by the Zurich architect Ernst Giesel, the typical Nagelfluh rock walls, and an information panel about the origin and geology of the Rigi. From the sunny terrace First, the idyllic upper First Trail leads back to Rigi Kaltbad. You can expect a pleasant circular route with a wonderful view of Lake Lucerne.

**Notes**

The current operational status of the railways and hiking trails can be found .

So that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, we kindly ask you to dispose of your waste at the Rigi railway stations. Thank you.
