Above the sea of fog

At higher altitudes, autumn is now showing its golden side and invites you to hike and enjoy! That's why operations on the Chäserrugg will reopen from 1 to 3 November 2024. As a result, the shuttle between Unterwasser - Iltios and the Iltios - Chäserrugg aerial cable car are in operation and the Chäserrugg summit restaurant is open.

Opening hours on 1st - 3rd November 2024

Shuttle Unterwasser – Iltios

Due to the new builded valley station during Summer 2024, a bus will take you from Unterwasser to Iltios. The bus departs every 30 minutes or depending on the number of guests. The departure location and ticket offices are situated in the parking lot of the old valley station in Unterwasser.

Depending on the number of people, waiting times could be long, therefore we recommend to take the chairlift from Alt St. Johann to Alp Sellamatt and then hike to Iltios via the Iltios - Alp Sellamatt connecting route.
