Ski lift on Rigi Scheidegg/Burggeist

Skiing and tobogganing are included in the Rigi Day Pass, the annual travelcard and the GA travelcard. You pay no extra charge.

Enjoy snow sports at their best on the 5 kilometres of perfectly groomed alpine pistes. The area is a popular starting point for snowshoe and winter hikers, cross-country skiers and ski tourers.

The two children's ski lifts Scheidegg and Burggeist are great fun for younger guests and teach them their first steps on skis on easy slopes.
