Winter hiking with kids on Mount Rigi & Pilatus
-
Hello, I am planning on hiking with my family on Mount Rigi and Pilatus next week. We are staying in Lucerne March 21 – 25 (and on to Wengen March 25 – 28). I have a question about the hiking trails. We have a 7, 5, and 2 year old. The 2 year old will be in a backpack carrier. Does anyone have specific recommendations for easy trails that are currently open?
I think Des Alps trail and the Rigi First Loop Road look like good options on Mount Rigi. I am not sure if we need to have our trails planned out ahead of time, but traveling with little ones it is better to have all options ready. Also, are there any “easy” trails at the top of the Rigi?
My husband has a fear of heights so we will not be going to the top of Pilatus. I may ride the cable car up to the top with my 2 year old while my husband has the bigger kids at the playground that is at the first cable car stop. Do children use that this time of year? It looks like there are some short hikes near the playground. Is that accurate? Thanks so much for your assistance!
We live in Florida and our kids will see snow for the first time on this trip 🙂
