Fulfirst, Mountain summit in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland

Fulfirst is a mountain in the Appenzell Alps with two distinct summits separated by a natural saddle, sitting between Walensee lake and the Rhine Valley. Both peaks rise to roughly 2.400 meters, making this a notable location on the regional ridge line.

Local alpine clubs developed marked trails across this mountain during the 19th century, creating connections between mountain huts and establishing it as a recognized hiking destination. These pathways became part of the wider network that made Alpine travel more accessible to visitors.

The border between the municipalities of Walenstadt and Sevelen runs over the Gross Fulfirst summit, while the Chli Fulfirst carries the boundary between Grabs and Sevelen. Walkers on the ridge cross these cantonal and communal lines without any marker beyond the summit crosses.

Hiking routes to this summit are demanding and require good fitness and mountain experience to navigate safely. A mountain hut on the slopes offers shelter for those planning to spend time exploring the area.

The border between the municipalities of Walenstadt and Sevelen runs over the Gross Fulfirst summit, while the cantonal boundary between Grabs and Sevelen crosses the Chli Fulfirst. Walkers standing on either peak therefore straddle two communes at once, a detail easily missed on the ridge.
