Nosshaldensattel 1496 m
Nusshaldensattel
Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Appenzell Innerrhoden
The Nusshaldensattel (also written Nosshaldensattel) is a pass on the cantonal border of Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden. It is located at an altitude of 1496 meters above sea level southeast of Kronberg (1663m).
The saddle can be reached either from Schwägalp or from the village of Urnäsch up to Kronberg. You can also hike over the pass on the second stage of the Appenzeller Höhenweg (hiking route 980). This leads from Schwägalp via Chammhalden up to Nusshaldensattel and from there via Petersalp back down to Urnäsch.

Crossing point with signpost. Very nice view of the Alpstein massif.
