Rigi Scheidegg - Hinter Dossen - Unterstetten - First - Rigi Kaltbad                

This cozy hiking route leads you on well-developed paths over the lakeside route to Rigi Kaltbad. The magnificent panorama of the Kreuztrichter of Lake Lucerne and the Bernese Alps is your constant companion.

From Rigi Scheidegg, you walk leisurely along the panorama route to Hinter Dossen. The well-developed mountain path branches off again to the Rigi Panorama Trail at Unterstetten. Following this, you walk around the Würzenstock. The view extends to Rigi Kulm and over the Mythen. Behind the Würzenstock you have a choice: either follow the impressive rock path to Rigi Kaltbad-First or stay on the also beautiful panorama trail. At Rigi Kaltbad, the Mineral Bath & Spa invites you to relax your tired hiking muscles in the warm water.
