Chäserrugg cable car
Highlight • Structure
The threshold height at the Iltios mountain station is 1,339 m above sea level. From there, the Iltios–Chäserrugg cable car leads to the 2,262-meter-high Chäserrugg, the first of the Churfirsten ranges, and ski lifts, including those to the Stöfeli. The cable car opened in 1934 and rebuilt in summer 2005.

Iltios Mountain Station and Mountain Inn
Highlight • Rest Area
A stopover on the way to the summit, an ice cream break on the Klangweg trail, or the starting point of a hike – all roads lead to Iltios. The Iltios plateau has been a popular destination in the Churfirsten region since the 1930s. As a hub for trails and slopes, it plays an important role and is easily accessible for people with limited mobility. The restaurant also houses the playground and the ski school meeting point with its children's area.
