MANU Tip
Most of the services included in the experience package are available from mid-May to mid-October. The upper section of the mountain railway to Gamsalp opens on 2 July. The Lake Constance boat trip switches to weekend service in mid-September.
MANU mountain holidays at the foot of the Säntis
Appenzell and Toggenburg are very attractive hiking areas. Here you will find some of the most beautiful panoramic mountains in Switzerland, the most famous of which is the Säntis at 2,502 m above sea level. Also be sure to visit the Aescher mountain inn at Ebenalp, a very well-known photo motif in Switzerland. Further north, the Rhine and Lake Constance beckon. Enjoy the short Rhine "cruise" from Schaffhausen to Stein am Rhein. A day's boat trip on the Swiss side of Lake Constance should not be missing from the programme.

Top offers in Eastern Switzerland
Wildhaus
The tourist centre of Toggenburg lies in a high valley between the Säntis massif and the seven Churfirsten peaks. With its almost untouched mountain landscape, the region is one of the most beautiful hiking regions in Switzerland. By public transport you can easily reach the surrounding cantons such as Thurgau, Appenzell Innerrhoden and Ausserrhoden as well as the many excursion destinations in Eastern Switzerland and Lake Constance.
Urnäsch
Urnäsch is located in the Appenzellerland on the river of the same name and is the gateway to the Schwägalp and the Säntis mountain range. In the village you can explore the Appenzell customs museum or discover local specialities in the regional cheese dairy. The hiking trails around Urnäsch guarantee impressive views of the Säntis. The excursion destinations in the surrounding cantons can be reached quickly with the Appenzell railway.
