Chäserrugg

The Chäserrugg rises to 2,262 meters as the easternmost peak of the Churfirsten range in the canton of St. Gallen, featuring limestone formations.

The summit's name originated from a ridge used by cheesemakers, later becoming officially recognized as part of the Seven Churfirsten peaks in the early 1900s.

The mountain station, designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, integrates modern architecture with traditional Alpine building techniques using local wood materials.

Visitors access the summit through a two-stage transportation system: the Iltiosbahn funicular from Unterwasser to Iltios, followed by an aerial lift to the top.

The mountain offers 50 kilometers of ski runs connecting to Unterwasser and Alt St. Johann, with slopes suitable for various skill levels during winter months.
