One of the most beautiful and hardest climbs ever done! Highly recommended! From Goldau, you initially climb through a beautiful Alpine meadow. After about 5 km you enter the forest. From here, no car traffic is allowed and it is mouse-quiet. After you pass the little train station of Fruttli, you slowly return to an open area. From here on it really goes uphill and the surface becomes more gravelly. Great to do with a gravel or mountain bike, but not recommended for road cyclists. At Rigi-Staffel train station you think you have arrived, but appearances are deceiving, you still have to climb another kilometre on a steep and very bad path. Once at the top (near the transmitter mast), the view is amazing!!! You can also get something to eat and drink if you like. A wonderful climb for a mountain or gravel bike! Highly recommended ...

Eén van de mooiste en zwaarste beklimmingen ooit gedaan! Een absolute aanrader! Vanuit Goldau klim je aanvankelijk door een prachtige Alpenweide. Na ongeveer 5 km ga je het bos in. Vanaf hier mag er geen autoverkeer meer komen en is het muisstil. Nadat je het treinstationnetje van Fruttli gepasseerd bent kom je langzaam weer in een open gebied. Vanaf hier gaat het echt flink omhoog en word de ondergrond meer gravelachtig. Prima te doen met een gravelbike of mountainbike, maar niet aan te raden voor racefietsers. Bij het treinstation Rigi-Staffel denk je er te zijn, maar schijn bedriegt, je moet nog een kilometer klimmen op een steil en zéér slecht begaanbaar pad. Eenmaal boven (bij de zendmast) is het uitzicht geweldig!! Je kunt ook wat eten en drinken als je wilt. Een prachtige klim voor een mountainbike of gravelbike! Een absolute aanrader ...

Great, tough climb. My favourite in Switzerland, as the view from the top is wonderful, there's almost no traffic, and it's a challenge. Road surface is dodgy, especially in the upper half, and around Staffel. Be careful on the descent.
