Enjoy the unique 360° panoramic view on the 7 km-long panoramic hiking trail. This route is ideal for leisure hikers.
Along the way, you can discover many relics of the former Rigi-Scheidegg railway. The route takes you over the old railway bridge, through a tunnel, past a decommissioned passenger wagon, and past a water filling station for steam locomotives. The view of the Alps and the Schwyz basin is magnificent. From Rigi Scheidegg, you can return to Goldau via cable car through Kräbel.
This hike can also be done in the opposite direction.
Notes
The current operational status of the railways and hiking trails can be found here.
To ensure that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, we ask you to dispose of your waste at the Rigi railway stations. Thank you.
