Wolzenalp

Ebnat-Kappel

Select your Region:
Uphill to Wolzenalp with view of Toggenburg and Säntis
 
Toggenburg is framed by mountain giants. Here the unmistakeable tooth of the Churfirsten on the horizon borders the valley of Säntis. Where the northern foothills of the Churfirsten transform into a softer, hilly landscape, the alpine cottages bustle with activity. This is an ideal place for an interesting bike tour. Riding from the bottom of the valley up to the sunny Alp, stop in a hut straight out of folklore, and dash back down the hill again. It is as good as it gets.

From Ebnat-Kappel you ride on the cyclepath in the direction of Wildhaus. After 7.3 km a pleasant uphill is taking you to Wolzenalp. The whole track offers you magnificent sights to the Toggenburg. The downhill into Steintal is a bit gruff but, with caution, ineresting also for beginners. Reaching Steintal tackle back Ebnat-Kappel.
