The Ebenalp is the northernmost summit of the Alpstein in the Appenzell Alps, Switzerland. The mountain is a popular hiking destination and has been accessible by cable car from Wasserauen since 1955. Ebenalp attracts up to 200,000 visitors each year.[ citation needed ]

Contents

From the high plateau of the cable car station, visitors have a panoramic view of the rolling hills of Appenzell. Trails start at the station and lead to a network of mountain huts. These hiking routes lead to sites such as Säntis and Seealpsee. The nearby Aescher-Wildkirchli hut can be reached by hiking through a cave. [1]

Transport

The nearest railway station is Wasserauen, the southern terminus of the Gossau–Wasserauen railway, which is operated by Appenzell Railways (Appenzeller Bahnen, AB). The station is served by the S23 service of St. Gallen S-Bahn to Gossau SG via Appenzell and Herisau, which are both served by long-distance trains. Wasserauen railway station is located across the street of the valley station of an aerial tramway (Luftseilbahn Wasserauen–Ebenalp  [ de ]) to Ebenalp. [2]
