A wonderful alternative both to and from Schwagalp. Completely asphalted, you cycle away from traffic through the magnificent mountain landscape. Pay attention to the pasture grates and cows on the downhill.

Schwägalppass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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.

Schwägalp Ascent from Urnäsch

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

With plenty of strength, stamina, and a good dose of motivation, the climb from Urnäsch to Schwägalp is a true delight. The view leaves nothing to be desired. Highly recommended.

Landsgemeindeplatz Appenzell

Highlight • Historical Site

Who doesn't know this place in Switzerland. Here, voting is still done traditionally by a show of hands. So if you are ever in Appenzell, you should also visit the square and pay attention to whether you feel a historic "Gramsele" through your spine. :-)

Highlight • Settlement

The beautiful village center of the municipality of Hundwil is listed in the inventory of Swiss townscapes worthy of protection. Many old, sometimes huge houses characterize the village.
