Ebenalp - ideal starting place for captivating walks
The Ebenalp (1,640 m) is the northernmost summit of the Appenzell Alps. 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.
Appenzell's highlight is a quaint and rustic old hut built into a cliff at about 5,000 feet, just below a peak called Ebenalp. It's more accessible than it should be — just a short hike down from the top of the Wasserauen cable car (five miles south of Appenzell town).
Ebenalp is home to the iconic mountain restaurant built into the side of the cliff. From the top of the cable car, it’s a short walk through a cave, past by an old hermit’s hut and “wild” church, until you reach the guest house and restaurant.
The path to the cliff restaurant is dirt and rock, not difficult but the footing can be tricky for little children and those with mobility issues.
Berggasthaus Aescher has only rainwater and no shower. Weekends often come with live music and rowdy parties going into the wee hours. The hut is literally built into the cliff; its back wall is the rock itself. From the toilet, you can study alpine geology and architecture.
From Ebenalp's sunny cliff-side perch, you can almost hear the cows munching on the far side of the valley. In the distance, nestled below Säntis' peak, is the isolated Seealpsee lake.
