Gersau has 70 kilometres of marked hiking trails. There is a route for everyone: from easy hikes to challenging mountain tours. These include the "Waldstätterweg", the "Swiss Path" and the mountain hiking trail over the Hochfluh.
Rigi south side safari - the hit!
One round trip ticket for four different means of transport
The mountain bus from Gersau takes you to Obergschwend, where you take the aerial cableway to Rigi Burggeist. Here, the cosy Rigi-Burggeist mountain inn invites you to take a short break. Now start the hike to Rigi Scheidegg, where the "Arche" rewards you with a 360° panoramic view. Continue along the panoramic trail to Rigi Kaltbad-First. Take the oldest cog railway in Europe to Vitznau. Round off this sunny round trip with a leisurely boat trip on Lake Lucerne or the return journey to Gersau on the AAGS bus.

Zwärgliweg
A path for the big ones too.
The Zwärgliweg from Rigi Burggeist to Obergschwend is a cult favourite and not just for the little ones. The 535 bus takes you to Obergschwend and the Obergschwend - Rigi Burggeist aerial cableway takes you to the starting point of the hike. The path always leads downhill and the discovery of the dwarves and the other beauties of the area provide amusement.
Solène and Matthias from Hike&Dine have been out and about on the Zwärgliweg.
