Rigi Kulm - Schwändi - Rigi Klösterli

The nearly 4-kilometer-long, fast and rather steep route promises lots of fun and speed.

Action is guaranteed on this toboggan run. The route from Rigi Kulm via Schwändi begins at the very end of the tracks of the Rigi railways and leads from Rigi Kulm past the mountain inn Chäserenholz to Schwändi and down to Rigi Klösterli. From Klösterli, sports shuttle trains bring tobogganers back to the start at Rigi Kulm.

No prior knowledge is required for tobogganing, but consideration, quick reaction and good judgement as well as good footwear are important for the safety of everyone.

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 stations of the Rigi railways. Thank you.

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