Important information

Description

Sledding fun and fondue enjoyment are pre-programmed at the night sledging at 1551 m.a.s.l. After arriving by car to Obergschwend, you float with the cable car Obergschwend - Rigi Burggeist to Rigi Burggeist, where the sledging fun begins. From 06.30pm to 09.00pm all snow and sledging enthusiasts can enjoy themselves under the wintry starry sky. From 8.30 pm, the fondue fun can begin in the cozy Rigi-Burggeist mountain restaurant. With a delicious warm-up tea and the fine fondue, nothing stands in the way of a harmonious evening. As a conclusion of the cozy get-together, a late ride with the cable car back to Obergschwend follows.

For those who want to enjoy the homey atmosphere at the Rigi-Burggeist mountain inn a little longer, various cozy rooms are available for overnight stays.
