Fairy Tale Trail to Rittisberg

Open

Family hike with many fairy tale stations

A magical hike for the whole family is the fairy tale trail on the Rittisberg. You hike along a newly created forest path to the Rittisstadl. In between, various fairy tale stations promise great entertainment. Kids should take a good look at the stations - because at the Rittisstadl a very special surprise is waiting for them.

Note: Due to the construction of the new cable car on the Rittisberg, a bus shuttle will be offered this summer.

The path is not NOT suitable for baby carriage. It is a challenging path.
