Over 4 kilometers, from Rigi Burggeist to Gschwend, sledding enthusiasts get their money's worth. The start is at 1551 meters above sea level, at Rigi Burggeist. Via Gätterli Pass, the slope runs down to Gschwend, where the Obergschwend-Rigi Burggeist cable car takes the sledders back to Rigi Burggeist.
No prior experience is required for sledding, but consideration, quick reactions, good judgement, and good footwear are important for everyone's safety.
Notes
- Dogs are not allowed on the sledding trails.
- So 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.
You can find the current operational status of the railways and sledding slopes here.
