Fähnerenspitz Summit
Highlight • Summit
The Fähnerenspitz is a popular mountain in every season because it is harmless and yet exudes a magical attraction from a mountain. And this even in bad weather, no matter how stormy it is and you think that you are the only crazy person who goes out in that weather ... but no ... on the Fähnerenspitz you meet other people in any weather "Crazy" on 😉
In winter, the Fähnerenspitz is a beautiful destination for snowshoe hikes and you can even find touring skis up here.
The area around the Fähnerenspitz is also very nice and sunny in the winter months (especially from Brülisau), if you start the ascent from Eggerestand, you first walk in the shade, but this path is also very beautiful and recommended.

Eggli Mountain Restaurant
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The Eggli is a very popular destination for locals too. The Eggli is located high above Appenzell. The host couple lives hospitality and loves their animals. The food is hearty and good, just the thing after a hike across the Fäneren. Simple and fine Appenzell restaurant with a beautiful terrace with a view of the Rhine Valley and Appenzell.
