The Churfirsten Panorama
Hike along the peaks of the Churfirsten and admire the majestic mountain range in Toggenburg. This easy hike is perfect for a leisurely break in eastern Switzerland, combining impressive nature and exercise.
Hike along the Churfirsten and admire the majestic mountain range. After starting at Alp Sellamatt, follow the easy path to Zinggen and then turn right onto the road towards Thurtalerstofel. After a few hundred metres you already leave the road again and follow the hiking trail that leads across the meadows directly after the clubhouse of the SAC Uzwil. Throughout the entire route over the open Alpine meadows of Alp Sellamatt, past the Lochhütte and up to Thurtalerstofel you have a unique view of the nearby Churfirsten mountains. As soon as you have reached the Thurtalerstofel, you continue on the forest paths via the Brisizimmer and the Hinterlücheren to the Zinggen, which you already passed at the beginning of the hike. From there you follow the path over the Gerstenboden to the Iltios. Here you will be able to enjoy the local cuisine with traditional dishes in the mountain restaurant and once again enjoy a phenomenal view of the seven peaks.
