Mount Rigi, the "Queen of Mountains" as it is lovingly called by locals, is an easily accessible hiking destination even in winter. The many public transportation options and the wide variety of winter sports that can be enjoyed in its valleys and along the slopes of the mountain make it a popular destination not only for tourists, but even for locals. Here is our hike’s report: an easy walk in the snow during an unexpected and beautiful sunny day!

The hike we propose starts from Rigi Kaltbad and leads, through panoramic spots and valleys, to Rigi Scheidegg. Known as "Panoramaweg" because of its wide variety of panoramic spots, this hike follows the route of an old railway line and uses the existing infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels. It is an easy itinerary of about 8 km that can be covered in more or less two and a half hours. The path is well indicated along the entire route. The trail is almost entirely on a well-maintained gravel roads that are daily swept, so for walking here you won’t need to wear snowshoes: a good waterproof winter hiking shoes will be sufficient! However, some sections of the trail are shared with cross-country skiers, so be careful and don’t occupy the cross-country ski path.
