Rigi winter hiking

Hi,
I am in Vitznau tonight and plan to go up to Rigi late morning tomorrow. I recall reading a great guide somewhere, but can't find it now.
I would like to do a nice walk, see some views, have lunch. I will have about 5 hours to spend.
Thank you

If the weather is nice, you can just hike down from Rigi Kulm to Kaltbad and take the cable car down to Weggis and back to Vitznau on the boat. I was there about this time last year and it was cold and windy and raining at Rigi Kulm, so I just had a soup and a beer in the cafe there and rode back down to Vitznau.

There should be cameras showing the summit. Is there snow? One December we were there right after a fresh snowfall, and there were already footsteps in the snow from the hikers.
Have a great time.
