Mesmer Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the Mesmer there is a great panoramic view down to the Seealpsee, direction Schäfler and Säntis. Restaurant with traditional dishes, e.g. just Rösti with sausage, and with terrace for dining or just to stay with a Suure Moscht.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Funny that Komoot classifies the trail as T4, the trail is max. T2 in terms of difficulty. Even the climb up to the Ebenalp mountain inn is T4, someone must have been joking...
