- Description
-
For now, only the mountain tops are covered in snow. But the Foreland border region between Innerrhoden and Ausserrhoden is always a good choice for a hike at this time of year. At 850 metres above sea level, fog rarely obstructs the spectacular views over the lovely hills of the Appenzellerland to the Alpstein massif and over the Rhine Valley to the Vorarlberg Alps.
