Toggenburg
The seven Churfirsten peaks – Chäserrugg, Hinterrugg, Schibenstoll, Zuestoll, Brisi, Frümsel and Selun – stand in a row like shark’s teeth.
This is what summer sounds like
Just an hour’s drive from Zurich and Lake Constance, hikers, nature lovers and those seeking relaxation can reach the summer idyll of Toggenburg. The high valley between the Säntis and the seven Churfirsten peaks, with its almost untouched landscape, is one of the most beautiful hiking regions in Switzerland. The best-known destinations are the Sound Trail, the Toggenburg Höhenweg and the Chäserrugg with its summit building designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron. The peaceful, compact and unspoilt Toggenburg is also popular for its tradition-conscious customs, as well as its beautiful mountain lakes and cycling routes set against the imposing backdrop of the Churfirsten.

In the high valley between the Säntis and the seven Churfirsten peaks, just an hour’s drive from Zurich and Lake Constance, a little slice of paradise in an almost untouched landscape awaits winter enthusiasts of all ages. With 60 kilometres of ski slopes, 35 kilometres of hiking trails, 13 kilometres of toboggan runs, countless cross-country trails, snowshoe tours and even a fun park, the Toggenburg natural paradise remains compact yet large enough for everyone to find something to their liking.
