Super tour, which is easy to organize with travel by SBB. All ascents are moderate. Some sections are picture-perfect - and you are moving in a part of Switzerland where the gastronomy has also stayed refreshingly down-to-earth. Recommendation: Lunch at the Sternen in Neu St. Johann and a refreshment stop after the descent from the Schwägalp at the "Altes Bild" inn in Eggerstanden. Oh yes, and don't shoot all your powder at the Schwägalppass... there are still a few ascents that get quite tough after 80 kilometers.

Alpstein Range with Säntis

Highlight • Summit

The Säntis is at 2501.9 m above sea level. M. the highest mountain in the Alpstein (Eastern Switzerland). Due to the exposed, northern upstream location of the Alpstein, the mountain is a landmark that can be seen from afar.
