Wild Animal Trail Rigi-Scheidegg At 1,656 m above sea-level there is an educational round walk. Indigenous wild animals are vividly described and with a little luck and patience these can be spotted and observed. At the end of the walk (30 min.) you can enjoy the fantastic 360° alpine panorama at the RigiScheidegg Ark.

Family Paradise Rigi Burggeist Ludo, nine men‘s morris, and as a special gag a giant rolling-ball track - here at Rigi Burggeist, not only the children feel at home. Young and old can spend hours here!

Hiking Paths Suitable for Pushchairs The flat paths from Rigi Kaltbad in the direction of Känzeli (15 min. with Rigi Wildmannli figures) or in the direction of Unterstetten (45 minutes with fireplace and mountain inn) are very suitable for pushchairs.
9
Clambering Path / Ladder Routes For surefooted hikers the ladder route is a good idea: the round route leads from Rigi Kaltbad (1,450 m) to Steiglen and Müserenalp (1,018 m) and to Geissrüggen and Känzeli, returning to Rigi Kaltbad - 2h with various ladders.
10
Steimannli Trail This idyllic walk leads from Rigi First (1,453 m) to Ober-Äbnet to Romiti (1,195 m). From there it is worth making a side trip to the Felsentour beer-garden (1,126 m, 15 min.). From Romiti take the cogwheel railway to Rigi Kaltbad/Kulm or Vitznau - 1.5 h.
