Potersalp

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At 780 meters above sea level – surprisingly easy with incredible views of the Säntis mountain.

If the flag is hoisted in front of the Chammhaldenhütte, then you can look forward to a stop. The club hut is sometimes open on weekends. There are no fixed opening times, but the joy is all the greater when the hut is actually open.

Urnäsch

Highlight • Settlement

A pretty place with a special peculiarity: In Urnäsch, New Year's Eve is celebrated twice a year: the new New Year's Eve takes place on December 31st, the old New Year's Eve on January 13th. If the dates fall on a Sunday, it is celebrated on the Saturday before.

July 6, 2024,eMTB - Appenzell - Potersalp - Urnäsch- Appenzell 🇨🇭

Very nice tour with quite a lot of paved roads. The highlight is definitely the area away from the Potersalp.
It is very idyllic here and a stop at the Chammhaldenhütte is also recommended.

June 24, 2025,Rund om dä Kronberg - Leuenfall Appenzell

Fantastic views are guaranteed on this tour.

"It's beautiful to observe nature, but even more beautiful to experience it" is a quote from the locals, and so we headed to the starting point, the "Kronberg parking lot" near Jakobsbad.

The Kronberg is a 1662.8 m (5,500 ft) mountain south of Jakobsbad in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden in Switzerland and …

October 9, 2022,Urnäsch/Appenzell/Chammhaldehütte

Wanted to escape the fog and do a tour from Urnäsch via Appenzell to Weissbad, then the ascent over the Lemmen to the Chammhaldenhütte.
At the last minute we drove through the blanket of fog 😎
Elvira's cousin, Esther, was the hut warden in the Chammhaldenhütte this weekend. On your recommendation we approved the very fine Schlorzifladen, just great.

Official bike tour "Potersalp Route":
appenzellerland.ch/de/erleben/wandern-bewegen/sommer/e-bike-touren/schwaegalp-rundtour.html

Another bike ride together on what was perhaps the last perfectly beautiful day of this autumn 🌞🤩 Quite warm, only very cool between Potersalp and Lehmen in the shade of the forest.
Inevitably (as there was often no other option) very often on tarmac and even main roads. Only on gravel alpine roads at …

Andrea and I had a wonderful 🤩 autumn tour in almost summery 🌞 conditions.
As the title says, this tour takes you around the well-known panoramic mountain Kronberg. Where possible a little off the beaten track, where not possible also on main roads. There are two striking climbs: Gonten over the Lauftegg to Blattendürren, and Urnäsch up to Schwägalp.

If Werner plans a tour, then I know in advance that it can only be good.
Same again today 🤩
We met in Steinegg, where there is a great and free parking lot. We started in the best weather conditions... in mid-October and it was almost summer-like warm.
The whole tour was technically easy to drive. This has the advantage …
