    Hiking

    Iltios Mountain Restaurant
    A stopover on the way to the summit, an ice cream break on the Klangweg trail, or the starting point of a hike – all roads lead to Iltios. The Iltios plateau has been a popular destination in the Churfirsten region since the 1930s. As a hub for trails and slopes, it plays an important role and is easily accessible for people with limited mobility. The restaurant also houses the playground and the ski school meeting point with its children's area.

    Hiking

    From Unterwasser, a funicular takes you up to Iltios. From Iltios, a gondola then takes you up to Chäserrugg. From Iltios, there are numerous hiking options (including family-friendly ones). For example, the Klangweg (Sound Trail), hikes to Chäserrugg, Hinterrugg, Gamserrug, Gamsalp, or Voralpsee. You can start or end the Klangweg here, or you can simply hike back down from here to the Iltios valley station, Unterwasser, or Alt St. Johannn. Or you can simply stop here for a break; there's a playground for the kids.

    Starting point for many hikes, especially the sound path suitable for families. From here the cable car goes to the Chäserrugg.
