INTERNATIONAL SKI CLUB OF GENEVA

Chäserrugg (Käserück) & Säntis
Saturday-Sunday – 2018 August 4-5
St. Gallen – Difficult The Säntis is a famous landmark in north-eastern Switzerland. Saturday we hike an easy trail to the Chäserrugg with an impressive view of the Walensee far below. We might see ibex. Dinner on the summit. Cable car down. Sunday we ascend a somewhat exposed trail on the apparently impenetrable 700 meter high face of the Säntis. Then we follow a beautiful alpine landscape with some easy rock scrambling. The summit block is accessed by 50 m of nearly vertical metal pegs. Six countries are visible from the summit. Cable car down.
