This is a point-to-point hike, so best done with public transportation. The hike starts at the Weggis, Dorfplatz bus stop right on the shore of lake Lucerne. Because this hike makes the complete ascent from lake shore to the peak of Rigi, I wanted to touch the lake before we started the hike. This was a very regrettable decision as I slipped going ...
The trail starts by heading through town and then past the Weggis Gondalbahn station. If not everyone in your group is up for the hike, they can take the Gondolbahn from here and meet you in Kaltbad. For hikers, like us, the trail continues out of town and into the forest. You will be following the signs to Rigi Kaltbad. Note: At one intersection (...
The next part of the trail took us past the Romiti-Felsentor train stop. The trail then continues steeply up, often not too far from the tracks to Rigi Kaltbad. When we reached Rigi Kaltbad, it was just past noon, and we were really ready for a lunch break. We decided to eat at Restaurant Alpina. We have eaten there before and they have good food a...
The section of trail between Rigi Kaltbad and first is part of the Rigi Panorama Trail that we hiked in the winter. It is fairly flat, (which was a nice change after all the ascent to get to Rigi Kaltbad), and it has extremely beautiful panoramic views. We we reached First, we passed by the First Hotel and began following the signs towards Rigi Sta...
Even after taking a break for lunch, we were starting to get little tired. This was, as Mark Twain wrote, quite a long slog to get to the top. But with the peak in view (first picture above), we were very motivated to keep going.
After the detour, I met up with the trail and my husband near the train tracks just before the Rigi Staffel train station. From here,it was the final climb up to the peak. We had done this part of the trail in the opposite direction in the winter, so it was fun to see it from this perspective in the summer. When we reached the peak, I went up the r...
Like Mark Twain, we took the easy way back down, that is, we took the train. We had some time before the next train, so we bought a cold drink at the self-service restaurant and relaxed on the balcony. After one last look at the view, we boarded our train and headed home. This was a physically challenging hike, one a few years ago I couldn’t imagin...
Hace 4 días · On the trail of the American writer Mark Twain: a pleasant walk on the Riffelberg with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. In his satirical account Climbing the Riffelberg, Mark Twain poked fun at the expeditions of the 19th century into the alpine world around Zermatt.
The 10.4km Mark Twain theme trail from Weggis to Rigi Kulm with eight information boards about Twain and Mt Rigi lining the path was inaugurated in 2010, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the writer’s death. It follows the traditional route used to reach the summit before Europe’s first cogwheel train opened in 1871.
