Activities in Maria-Rickenbach
Maria-Rickenbach is the starting point for many hikes, including guided excursions such as the yodelling hike or the Alpine herb hike. If you want to go a little higher, you can get on the cable car that goes to Musenalp. This is right next to the Maria-Rickenbach mountain station. Further on, you can take a 30-minute hike from Maria-Rickenbach to the chairlift that takes you to Haldigrat.
For hunger
In the excursion area, you will find a dense network of fireplaces that invite you to linger. Along the hiking trails, alpine inns and mountain restaurants offer fine menus with local products. Also worthwhile is a visit to the Musenalp or Bleiki alpine cheese dairies, where you can buy the products directly.
Maria-Rickenbach Convent
The Benedictine convent of Maria-Rickenbach is currently home to around nine sisters. Products from the monastery herb shop and pharmacy are sold in the monastery's own shop. Take a look behind the convent walls and discover the building and the in-house weaving mill on a tour.
