Alp Tschingla

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The wide pasture lies at 1,528 meters directly below the peaks of the Churfirsten chain. A scene like from a picture book awaits you up here: colorful flower meadows, grazing cows and a working hut. From the guest garden of the Beizli you have a beautiful view of the Grisons, Sarganserland to the Glarus. Nights are offered in the warehouse or in double rooms.

July 15, 2023,Entlang der Churfirsten

A scenic tour with mediocre technical standards. Sure-footedness required, the climb is tough, but overall well feasible: mostly forest soil, but occasionally rocky ground that requires large and/or careful steps. From Alp Tschinga you are rewarded with a panorama of the Churfirsten and a view of the blue Walensee. The way back is also steep. If desired, the road can …

June 23, 2022,🇨🇭 SG - Walenstadtberg - Alp Tschingla - Paxmal

What can I say ... a great round through breathtaking scenery.
The ascent leads initially without a view and quite steeply through the forest. But there are no problems with the fear of heights here. But that will change soon. There are always gaps between the trees and in some places the path leads directly along the abyss. That always …

October 29, 2023,🥾🐕 Zwischen Churfirsten ⛰️ und Walensee 💧

After a visit to the Walenstadtberg rehabilitation center (an acquaintance had a very serious mountain accident)
Teddy 🐕 and I went on a hike around lunchtime. It first led us downhill and then went straight up through the forest to Tschingla Alp. The upper path, directly below the Churfirsten (Schilbenstoll initially) is the more beautiful and then meets the red/white …

September 29, 2024,Walenstadt - 🐞Alp Tschingla –🥾 Paxmal 🐐 (CH)

My son Benedikt and I went on a wonderful hike in bright sunshine. We started at the hiking car park in Walenstadt and hiked through picturesque landscapes to Alp Tschingla. There we enjoyed the impressive view of the Alpine panorama. Afterwards we visited the Paxmal monument, a place of reflection and peace, where we admired the artistic reliefs.

August 16, 2025,Züsler Highway ⚡️ (Tour-Abbruch) //Walenstadtberg - Alp Tschingla Runde

Unfortunately, we had to turn back before the via ferrata to the saddle between Brisi and Zuestoll. It wasn't possible with our three dogs, and the weather suddenly turned to heavy rain. Otherwise, the tour would have continued to Zuestoll and via the Schnüerliweg trail to Alp Tschingla. The tour was still beautiful, with views of the Churfirsten mountains and …

June 26, 2024,Walenstadtberg - Alp Schrina - Obersäss - Alp Tschingla - Hochrugg

If I had known beforehand what to expect on the way back via Hochrugg/ Sitzsteiweg, I would have done the tour the other way round. The Sitzsteiweg is mostly very narrow and constantly on steep slopes, plus there is multiple wall climbing and quite a lot of it, which is not shown in the Komoot elevation profile or on the …
