Summit of the Dossen

Highlight • Summit

On the Dossen, you have a great all-round view and fewer people than on the nearby and overcrowded Rigi. The ascent from the Rigi side is steep and strenuous, but the panorama is well worth the effort.

Rigi Cliff Path – View of Lake Lucerne

Highlight • Viewpoint

With the far-sighted panorama over Lake Lucerne and the captivating mountain backdrop, the footpath is one of the most beautiful on the Rigi, but you shouldn't be afraid of heights.
