Theme trails in the Chäserrugg area

Hike through the high-altitude Alpine garden on the Rosenboden plateau! Glass panels dotted throughout the themed trail feature interesting information about the unique Alpine flora, such as the meaning of the various plants in mythology as well as their medicinal qualities.
Admire the last gentians in the Alpine region and at the same time enjoy the unique view of the Walensee and the Alpstein.
We would be pleased to organise a guided tour with a local Alpine farmer for you. You can also order the book about the Flower Trail from us by email.  

Listen to the sounds of the Toggenburg mountains and become a musical part of them yourself: The sound trail has been renovated and awaits guests from summer 2024 with new installations and restored classics!

After the start at the Alp Sellamatt mountain station, several sound installations are spread along the entire path which young and old can use to create musical melodies. Between the sound of the different instruments you can listen to the silence of the forest or the noises of the wildlife. The first section, Alp Sellamatt to Iltios, is suitable for prams and wheelchairs.
The Iltios mountain restaurant with a natural playground is located on the high Iltios plateau. The sun terrace or the cosy restaurant are ideal places to linger. Afterwards the Sound Trail can be continued via Dunkelboden to Oberdorf Wildhaus.

Giants, dragons and mountain trolls - enjoy the enchantment of the Legend Trail along the majestic Churfirsten peaks! The Legend Trail tells the tales of the mystical Toggenburg on 12 panels throughout the entire hike. The large wooden panels with their drawings immerse young and old in the world of legends and the stories seem to come alive.
From the mountain station at Alp Sellamatt the trail first leads you through a small section of forest before you follow the Legend Trail across open Alpine meadows over the Lämboden to the Lochhütte. A cosy fire pit with seating is located in the immediate vicinity. After climbing a hill, the plateau of the Thurtalerstofel opens up before you. The hike can be shortened here by connecting the two trails for the smaller hikers. The long circuit leads to the Wildmannlisloch, a 150 m long cave, which is enjoyably cool, especially on hot summer days. You then hike along the foot of the Churfirsten peaks back to Alp Sellamatt.
