Itinerary description
We used a cable car to get from Küssnacht-am-Rigi to Rigi Seebodenalp (which is quite cheap and convenient). From there we hiked to Rigi Staffel and then to the highest point Rigi Kulm. The trail is clearly visible (with signs). You don't need any special equipement (hiking boots would be useful). Because it was late April, there were many places with slippery snow covering. From Rigi Staffel to Rigi Kulm there is an asphalt road (also you can take a train). On the peak it was very windy.
From the top you can see many lakes and cities of northern Switzerland from one side (including even Zurich far off), and high Alps with snow peaks from the other side. Also there is a beautiful view on Luzern, Vierwaldstättersee and mt. Pilatus.
