Transportation

We take the train from Zürich HB to Arth-Goldau at 8:05 (IR46 to Lugano), meeting point at 7:55 under the big station clock. Please buy the ticket in advance but mind that we will return from a different station (Küssnacht)
I will wear a red base cap so you will be able to spot me right away

Ideally, we will be back at Zurich HB by approx. 18:00. However, please do not plan anything right afterward since we might come back much later due to unexpected events.

Route

We will start hiking directly from Arth-Goldau station, go all the way up the Rigi and head down on the other side. The hike is not expected to be difficult but rather long. A good level of fitness and appropriate clothing/shoes are required.

Equipment

Make sure you check the weather in advance and wear/carry appropriate clothes. Hiking boots are recommended. Bring enough food and water for the break(s) we will have. There is a hut on top but I would like to be flexible and rather have a break on the way.
Don't forget a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses

Final Notes

• I am no professional guide and have not done this route before. However, its a very popular place :)
• No waiting for latecomers
• I expect you to be able to do the hike in the stated time. We will hike as one group but please make sure you feel fit enough for a full day hike.
