Rigi Kulm - Rigi Staffel - Rigi Klösterli

The most popular and at the same time most demanding toboggan run on the Rigi offers magnificent views and a dose of adrenaline.

The 3.1 kilometer long path runs from Rigi Kulm along the tracks of the Rigi Railways to Rigi Staffel. From Rigi Staffel, the path becomes steep and the speed immediately increases. You go rapidly downhill to Rigi Klösterli, where sport shuttle trains take you back to the start.

No prior experience is required for tobogganing, but consideration, quick reactions, good judgment, 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. 

You can find the current operating status of the railways and toboggan runs here.
