Hochalp mountain inn
This cosy mountain inn with a beautiful view of the Alpstein range and the valleys below is located in the heart of popular hiking area amid the idyllic Appenzell Alps.
On the Hochalp, 1530 m above sea level, you can strengthen yourself with a visit to the restaurant and enjoy fantastic views of the Säntis massif, the Churfirsten and the Glarus Alps.
Benches and tables invite you to linger outside. Inside, the cosy mountain inn is reminiscent of grandmother's times. The menu is authentic, the sausage and salsiz are homemade by the landlord. The mountain inn offers simple accommodation in double rooms or mattress dormitories.
