Hiking

The Alpstein around the Säntis is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. Between gentle paths and alpine routes, you can experience one of the most impressive mountain landscapes in eastern Switzerland. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll on the Schwägalp or a challenging hike through the Alpstein region.

Schwaegalp Sommer Wanderweg

Discover the Säntis on a variety of hikes. Whether leisurely or challenging, there is a suitable tour for every level.

The Alpstein offers the right hiking route for everyone, from alpine tours on the Säntis to leisurely hikes with equally spectacular views on the Schwägalp. You can find our most popular hikes on the adventure map. It is also worth taking a look at our tour suggestions on Komoot. This will help you find the hike that suits you best in terms of time, fitness and difficulty.

Good to know: the Alpstein is rocky in places and can be slippery. Good footwear suitable for the terrain is therefore recommended for every hike!

Tip
Treat yourself to a moment of relaxation after your hike. In the Weidwald wellness area at the ‘Säntis – das Hotel’, you will find peace and a soothing break. Included as part of a day wellness package or an overnight stay with us on the Schwägalp.
