The Raten mountain – at 1077m – high above Lake Ägeri offers a fantastic view of our mountains. The Restaurant Raten is highly recommended: The atmosphere is lovely and cozy, the service is friendly, and the food is delicious. It has a large parking lot, which is also a good starting point for hikes. Parking is subject to a fee daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Great route definitely worth it

The Ratten is a very beautiful landscape, whether you are on a bike or a racing bike, it is always nice to be at the top of the mountain.

Raten Pass partly heavily trafficked

very pretty here, very pretty

This is where the cantonal border between Lucerne and Schwyz lies. Originally, the Vitznau Rigi Railway was only allowed to run as far as Staffelhöhe. For a long time, it was not allowed to cross the cantonal border from Lucerne to Schwyz. The reason was that the people of Schwyz wanted to promote the Arth Rigi Railway, which lies on Schwyz soil. It was not until two years later (1873) that the railway was extended to Rigi Kulm (1752 m above sea level). This section lies in the territory of the canton of Schwyz, for which the VRB does not have a concession. The line belongs to the ARB and was leased by the Vitznau-Rigi Railway. It was not until 1990 that a track connection was established between the ARB and VRB in Rigi Staffel. This was the beginning of the merger, which was completed in 1992 and also includes the Weggis–Rigi Kaltbad cable car (LWRK).

From here starts a very flowing "gravel trail" down the valley...

Nice ambience, lots of bikers and unfortunately also a number of cars whose occupants escape the force of the great landscape.
