Rigi Kulm summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

The highest peak of the Rigi is the Rigi Kulm (1,797 meters). You can ascend via various hiking trails, all of which are very beautiful, or take the Arth-Rigi-Bahn railway up. From the summit, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Lake Zug and sometimes a sea of clouds. The sunrise on the Rigi is particularly impressive. It is worth getting up early for this unforgettable experience.
