Rigi Kulm: Sledding Guide

The ski area at Rigi Kulm features three incredible sledding runs. Each of the three slopes offers between 8 and 10 minutes of continuous sledding, covering roughly 3.5km and 440m of elevation.

The runs start at Rigi Kulm and end at Klösterli, where a train offers direct service back up to Rigi Kulm every 30 minutes.
The slopes open early morning and close at 16:30.

Sleds can be rented at Rigi Kulm and returned at Klösterli (next to the train station). The fee as of 2024 to rent a sled for the day is 15CHF and a 20CHF deposit, which you can pick back up at Klösterli after returning the sled.
They offer about 300 sleds for rental, and they cannot be reserved.

Three different runs are available:
Our personal favorite:    • Raw Schlitteln: Rigi Kulm - Schwändi - Klö...  
The swiss favorite:    • Raw and Unedited: Schlitteln - Rigi Kulm -...  
And a short one from Rigi Staffel (can be started at Kulm, with a short walk in between):    • Raw and Uncut Schlitteln: Rigi Kulm - Staf...  

To go sledding, you require sturdy shoes and warm clothing as a bare minimum, but we also consider a helmet and ski-googles mandatory. Crashes can never be ruled out and the slopes can be very busy.
In addition, spikes for better breaking can be helpful.

To access the sledding runs, the SBB day-pass to Rigi Kulm is enough. The only addition you might require is the sledge-rental.

About the channel:

We are an international couple from Georgia and Germany that travel the world together now for almost a decade. We enjoy hiking and love to explore the beauty of different places on foot. You will rarely find us at the typical tourist hotspots, but most often on the highest points of a country.

In Switzerland, where we live, we regularily explore the alps on beautiful hikes. In winter, we just put on the spikes or snowshoes, because nothing can keep us from the outdoors.

If you want to support our efforts, we highly appreciate if you share our videos with people that might like them as well. And of course, we would be happy to welcome you to our humble group of friends that follow our journey across this beautiful planet.
