Intro

On the Riggisalp, there is an interactive educational trail that teaches children and adults about the world of renewable energy. Covering approximately two kilometres, the themed trail includes nine posts that provide information while also stimulating the senses.

From the valley station in Schwarzsee, first hike or take a chair lift to the Riggisalp. The popular Riggliweg trail then starts at the upper station. Nine totem poles can be found along the two-kilometre circular trail, each equipped with its own information board on which Riggli the dwarf explains how renewable energy is generated.

As with the Hexenweg (Witch Trail), here too, there is a small backpack for the children. Inside are a booklet, crayons and a magnifying glass. At each post, the children are given a task. Whoever has coloured everything in by the end of the trail gets a surprise at the Berghaus Riggisalp restaurant. The backpack costs CHF 10, and parents receive a free accompanying brochure.

The educational trail takes around one and a half hours to complete and is suitable for children aged three and over.
