Schibenstoll, Mountain summit in Toggenburg region, Switzerland.
Schibenstoll is a peak in the Churfirsten range within the Toggenburg region. The summit offers views across the Walensee lake and the surrounding valleys with their green slopes and rocky ridges.
The mountain sits near historic routes that shepherds used for centuries to move livestock between valleys. These old paths shaped how the region's Alpine transportation networks developed over time.
Local mountain communities maintain seasonal festivals at the base of Schibenstoll, celebrating agricultural traditions and Alpine customs through music and food.
The mountain can be accessed from the Alt St Johann-Sellamatt gondola station where the hiking route begins. The path works best for those with mountain walking experience and comfort at higher elevations.
The limestone formations on the slopes create natural terraces and geometric patterns visible from different viewpoints. These geological features formed through erosion over millions of years and give the landscape an unusual structure.
