Around Säntis

This varied road cycling circuit starts in Nesslau in Toggenburg and initially heads downstream towards the St. Gallen Rhine Valley. The start and end points of the tour are flexible and can be freely chosen according to personal planning. After the first kilometers through the pre-alpine landscape, the terrain opens up allowing a smooth progress along the Rhine Valley. This is followed by the scenic highlight of the tour: the transition into the hilly Appenzellerland with its typical scattered settlements, lush meadows and continuous, demanding climbs.

The Alpstein with the Säntis as a prominent point of reference is always present. The route requires good basic fitness and safe driving behavior but rewards with quiet side roads, long descents and impressive panoramic views.
