Rigi Scheidegg, Mountain summit in Gersau District, Switzerland
The Rigi Scheidegg summit reaches an elevation of 1656 meters and provides views extending from the Black Forest to the Grisons mountains.
A grand hotel operated at the summit from 1830 until 1943, when declining tourism and shifting travel preferences led to its demolition.
The mountain houses the Berggasthaus Rigi-Scheidegg restaurant, which maintains Swiss Alpine dining traditions and includes Switzerland's first ground trampoline.
Two cable car systems connect visitors to the summit: the Goldau Kräbel-Rigi Scheidegg line and the Obergschwend-Rigi Burggeist aerial cableway.
The Rigi-Scheidegg-Arche command bridge enables visitors to experience a complete 360-degree view of notable peaks including Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
