Zuestoll

The Zuestoll peak rises to 2,235 meters within the Churfirsten group of the Appenzell Alps between Toggenburg valley and Lake Walenstadt.

The limestone formations of Zuestoll developed over millions of years through geological processes, creating the characteristic vertical southern wall measuring 300 meters.

Local mountaineering traditions center around the technical climbing routes of Zuestoll, which attract climbers from across Switzerland to test their skills.

Visitors can reach the starting point at Alp Sellamatt by taking the gondola from Alt Sankt Johann or driving through Unterwasser on narrow roads.

The southern face of Zuestoll presents multiple climbing routes with different technical grades, while fixed cables assist hikers through exposed sections of the trail.
