The shortest sledding route on the Rigi starts at the Staffelhöhe station and runs along the tracks of the Rigi railways to Rigi Kaltbad.

Half a sled kilometer promises lots of fun and joy. Rigi Staffelhöhe is conveniently reachable by cogwheel railway from Vitznau. Regular trains take the sledders back to the start from Rigi Kaltbad.

No prior knowledge is required for sledding, but consideration, quick reaction, good judgment, and good footwear are important for everyone's safety.

Notes

  • Dogs are not allowed on the sledding paths.
  • To ensure that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, please dispose of your waste at the stations of the Rigi railways. Thank you.
