Also known as the Appenzell Alps, Alpstein is part of the famous Alps mountain range system, and it's a true hikers' paradise. The beautiful trails wind through picturesque alpine scenery, along ridge lines, and past snow-covered peaks, and one of them even goes down to a cave system filled with Stone Age tools and cave bear skeletons.

Some trails have ladders and chains to help hikers make it through the tricky terrain. As a bonus, you don't need to bring many provisions with you for the day; the trails are dotted with traditional alpine inns serving up hearty meals and cold drinks. Alpstein Map
