Between cross-country ski trail and ski slope

A tip from the Appenzeller magazine: The winter can be well experienced on the hike from Schönengrund to the Schwellbrunner Sitz and back. Snow falls here between 900 and 1000 meters above sea level more often than elsewhere in Appenzellerland, and it lingers particularly stubbornly thanks to the tendency for cold air to accumulate in the valley. Whether on narrow or wide skis or on snowshoes, winter sports enthusiasts are offered plenty.
