About the trail
The "Queen of the Mountains" has drawn travellers since the age of Turner and Mark Twain, and this signposted trail from Rigi Kaltbad to the summit at Rigi Kulm (1,798 m) delivers the classic view: Lake Lucerne on one side, a sea of Alpine peaks on the other. Gentle gradients, cog railway back down, plenty of restaurants along the way. A great year-round option — the trail is often clear even when the surrounding Alps are snowed in. Best light at sunrise from the summit hotel.
