Steep Mountain Trail with Panoramic Views

Highlight • Trail

In my opinion, it's a steep and not particularly easy mountain hiking trail. Not suitable for biking, more pointless, and not doable for most people as it's too difficult. Not a highlight, just utter nonsense!

Hochalp East (1,525 m)

Highlight • Summit

Great vantage point at 1525 m east of the Hochalp mountain inn, worth a detour.

Hochalp Summit (1,530 m)

Highlight • Summit

Hochalp summit (1530 m) offers superb panoramic views. The summit lies slightly south of the path between the Hochalp restaurant (1521 m, to the west) and the secondary summit Hochalp Ost (1525 m).

The view is really phenomenal. The hardships of the climb are worthwhile. The Hochalp is hosted!

Highlight • Summit

Very friendly hosts on the Hochalp again since summer 2021. Open daily during the summer holidays, otherwise closed on Mondays. Open on nice weekends in winter. Recommended barley soup and cold dishes. Great view of the Säntis and the Alpstein.

View of Toggenburg from Hochalp

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you have made the roughest of the hard final part from the junction. Only 2 curves and you can already see the buildings of the Hochalp. Here you have a great view over Toggenburg.

Beautiful and not too difficult hike on well-developed paths. Beautiful view of the valley as far as Lake Constance and on the other side of the Säntis and the Churfirsten.
