The hike starts at the village square of Rigi Kaltbad and follows the well-known Steiglen Trail downhill to Müseralp. At a prominent glacial boulder, the ascent begins, first across alpine pastures to the foot of Geissrücken, then up the ridge with the help of seven ladders (aluminium ladders) to Rigi Känzeli. The phenomenal view from Rigi Känzeli already impressed Queen Victoria of England during her visit in 1868. From there, it is only a short walk back to the village square of Rigi Kaltbad.

Attention: The descent via Geissrüggen includes aluminum ladders and you must be free from dizziness.
