Sendestation Rigi Kulm

The Rigi transmitter is a Swisscom transmission facility on Mount Rigi , a 1,798-meter-high mountain in central Switzerland . The antenna is mounted on a 96-meter-high, free-standing reinforced concrete tower, built between 1995 and 1997, which features a publicly accessible visitor platform at a height of 6 meters. This tower replaced an older, 50-meter-high tower with a tube-slot antenna (called the "Rigi Needle") from 1964. [ 1 ]

The radio programs broadcast from here can be received not only in central Switzerland, but also far north, even into Germany. On December 31, 2024, at midnight, the FM broadcast of SRG programs was discontinued.
