    Hiking

    At 2,502 meters, the Säntis is the highest mountain in the Alpstein Mountains. The Säntis lies on the border between the cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden, Aargau, and St. Gallen. The mountains are composed of limestone and marl. The cable car takes hikers from Schwägalp up the mountain. Even in June, snow lies here and temperatures are icy. From the Säntis, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Alpstein Mountains, the Appenzellerland, Lake Lucerne, and Lake Constance.

    Hiking

    The Säntis is always worth a visit. The view from and into the distance is breathtakingly beautiful. Whether as a starting point to the Rotsteinpass over the Lisengrat or down to the Meglisalp, everyone will find their own route. But for the physical well-being go to the old Säntis, it's worth it. 😁
