Rigi Kulm - Schwändi - Rigi Klösterli

The almost 4 kilometer long, fast and rather steep trail promises a lot of fun and speed.

Action is guaranteed on this toboggan run. The route from Rigi Kulm via Schwändi starts at the very end of the Rigi Railway tracks and leads from Rigi Kulm past the Chäserenholz alpine farm to Schwändi and down to Rigi Klösterli. From Klösterli, sports shuttle trains take sledgers back to the start on Rigi Kulm.

No previous sledging experience is required, but consideration, quick reactions, good judgment and good footwear are important for everyone's safety.

Notes

  • Dogs are not allowed on the toboggan runs.
  • So that future generations can also enjoy the Queen of the Mountains, we ask you to dispose of your waste at the Rigi Bahnen stations. Thank you.

The current operating status of the railroads and toboggan runs can be found here.
