Winter Mt Rigi Day Trip – Details
Additional Notes for the Winter Mt. Rigi Tour
Our guides are here to maximize your Mt. Rigi experience and flexible so you receive the full benefit of your tour with the mission to have your expectations met and exceeded.
The goal of each tour is to tailor to the interests and hiking levels of the participants. Because Mt. Rigi offers so many ways to walk, hike and experience all its scenic highlights, your guide will look to identify how much or how little you wish to walk and or hike and design the hike in a way you will enjoy most.
The current weather conditions may dictate what is going to be the best options to maximize your experience. If the winds and visibility conditions on top of Mt. Rigi are either too windy, cold or totally in the clouds, the environment by Mt. Rigi Kaltbad, 347 m/ 1041 ft lower is often completely different.
- We have had Australians on this tour who wanted a more athletic experience so we take steeper trails and came up with a “No Worries” option. Therefore if you are looking for more of an adventure ask about the “No Worries” options.
- We have had Americans on the tour, a 70-year-old mother and 45-year-old daughter for example who wanted a 2-hour easy level hike on the snow. Here we take a different route and go to the Mt. Rigi Scheidegg summit and hike on the signposted very level trail that follows the old train tracks that once connected Rigi Scheidegg, 1661 m/4960 ft and Mt. Rigi Kaltbad, 1450 m/4350 ft.
- We’ve had a Singapore family who have never seen snow before with the Dad just wearing his street shoes. Here we re-routed the itinerary and took the boat from the train station and then transferred on the Mt. Rigi railway to Mt. Rigi Kaltbad where you can easily walk on the snow packed path with your everyday shoes.
