Seealpsee

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful mountain lake in the middle of the Alpstein, with a panorama that couldn't have been created better on the computer. Free-roaming cows, bright green sparkling water, cheese dairy, alphorn players... what more could you want?

Alpine Hiking Trail Above Lake Seealpsee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path is a bit steep. There are (in summer) steel cables attached. But I wouldn't describe the section as an alpine hiking trail.

Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, Meglisalp

Highlight • Religious Site

Chapel "Maria zum Schnee", Meglisalp
In the years 1897/1898, Sepp's great-great-grandfather created today's inn in the size it currently presents. At that time, all building materials had to be carried by strong men from Wasserauen over the narrow Schrenneweg. The heaviest load, the "Strussbodi", which one man carried alone, was 128 kilograms.
In the years 1903/1904 the chapel "Maria zum Schnee" was built on the initiative of Pastor Räss according to plans by the architect Holderegger and dedicated to the Holy Mother.

Meglisalp Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The inn has been expanded and freshly renovated since Pentecost 2021, and it's become a wonderful establishment, nestled in the heart of the Alpine village of Meglisalp 👌 the most beautiful village in the Alpstein region!

See the latest pictures. Older pictures are therefore outdated, or rather nostalgic...

Schrennenweg Above Seealpsee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

I find this path (the Schrennenweg) to the Meglisalp more suitable for those who are not completely free from giddiness (than the path that leads from the Seealpsee, Spitzigstein up to the Meglisalp). He is not that narrow and does not really have any exposed spots.

View of Seealpsee from the East

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from this point into the heart of Alpstein (on the Seealpsee with Ageteplatte, Säntis, Hängeten, Altenalptowers and Schäfler) is beautiful. When you start a hike in Alpstein past the Seealpsee, this view is always a wonderful start and your heart starts to beat faster.
On the way back I stop here again and again and take a wistful look back into the Alpstein and look forward to the next time ... and tackle the way back through the hut hut with beautiful memories from the previous day 😊.
