Hinderrugg

Brisi mountain reaches an elevation of 2306 meters and features distinctive limestone formations along its northern and southern faces.

The mountain gained recognition in the 19th century when local shepherds established traditional alpine farming practices on its lower slopes.

Local mountaineering clubs organize annual climbing events at Brisi, connecting generations of Swiss alpine enthusiasts through shared experiences.

Hikers can access Brisi through marked trails from Toggenburg valley, with the ascent taking approximately four hours for experienced climbers.

The mountain's position in the Churfirsten range creates a natural barrier that influences weather patterns between Lake Walen and Toggenburg valley.
