Hiking holidays Alpenpanorama Weg Appenzell to Einsiedeln
Hiking: Alpine Panorama Trail
- 6 Days / 5 Nights
- Self-guided tour
Arrival to Appenzell
Appenzell – Schwägalp
From Appenzell, the region’s capital, the trail climbs up to Alp Wasserschaffen. The path to the peak follows the Kronberg ridge, side by side with the Alpstein and with the same fantastic views. Afterwards, the route continues through typical alpine terrain down to Schwägalp, the base station of the Säntis cable car.
Splendid hike to Lutertannen and over the Risipass vantage point to Stein in Toggenburg. Meadows and Alpine pastures, near-to-nature low-moor marshes and coniferous forests alternate in colourful sequence.
The rather long ascent from Stein to the Vorderen Höhe is finally rewarded with wonderful views of the Glarner mountain peaks. A diverse high-level hike leads around the Gulmen, across to the Mattstock and down to Amden.
Amden – Einsiedeln
By bus down to Ziegelbrücke and with the train to Siebnen. A tough climb to Stöcklichrüz and a superb high-level hike around the northern end of Sihlsee lake to Einsiedeln. The St. Meinrads Chapel on Etzelpass and the house where Paracelsus was born are popular resting places, not just for pilgrims.

Tour character
The regions Appenzell and Toggenburg are hilly and you will have to master some steep ascents. Good stamina is needed for the walk. The trails are in a very good condition and easy to walk on. A good tour for beginners that are in a good shape.
