Itinerary description

We started from Küssnacht to go on the Rigi.

I chosen to select the level "Difficult" for this hike, because :
- For the begin of the hike, we took the wrong path, so there is about 30 minutes of hike in the wild, without any path.
- We used a way pretty dangerous, you have just the place to walk, and you can easily fall
- We seen 2 trees, sleeping on the path
- There is 4 or 5 places where you need to climb sometimes with chains, cables or nothing

We did great breaks, 3 times, that explain the long duration of this hike. You can count for 4~5h to get up and little bit less to get down. We chosen to use the cable car to get back down.

PS: Sorry the record is not really accurate I did as I can.

Waypoints

Intersection

Here, we took the one on the right, it was fun because it's not on the map, but then there is no more way and we struggled to find back a path. If you don't want to struggle, take the straight forward, but if you feel like an adventurer, take the same as us ! ;)

Pano #1

A Nice view from here, but don't worry you will have a lot to see during this hike, I didn't marked all of them

Risque

Ok, we don't see it really well on the pictures, but you have here about 25 cm for your feet, a lot of vegetation on both side, and a hole on your right. The picture has been taken, when looking behind me. That's not a big deal, as long as you pay attention you should not have any problem.

Climbing Part #1

Here you have to climb about 2 meters of rocks. It's probably impossible if it's rained before, else, it's not so hard. There is 3 or 4 times this kind of climbing part during the hike.
