Central Switzerland: panoramic snowshoe circular hike

The Scheidegg roud walk can be used as a hiking trail or as a snowshoe trail. The starting and finishing point of the hike is Rigi Burggeist. Along the way you will cover about 100 metres in altitude and the hike takes between 90-120 minutes, depending on your fitness level. The paths are not groomed and will give you a special hiking experience. Snowshoes and sticks can be rented at the Rigi Burggeist mountain inn. You can also get a map for this snowshoe tour at the mountain inn.
