Description: The hike from Rossfall up to Spicher and then back into the Urnäsch valley across the Chräzerenpass is proof of that. Up on the ridge is where Toggenburg and the Appenzellerland meet. Here, it is easy to see what the two regions have in common: pristine nature with forests, reed lands, deep ravines and wild streams – and lush green mountain pastures, where our cattle graze during the summer.
*Regarding parking at the Rossfall inn, please note that the inn is currently closed.
