Staubern and the Saxer L\u00fccke are part of the Alpstein, a limestone mountain range in north-eastern Switzerland. This area lies on the border between the cantons of St. Gallen and Appenzell Innerrhoden, high above the Rhine Valley. A popular and not too long hike starts with a small cable car from the village of Fr\u00fcmsen to the mountain inn Berggasthaus Staubern. From there, a path follows the ridge to the Saxer L\u00fccke pass and then goes down to the quiet mountain lake F\u00e4lensee. The walk takes about two hours and offers some of the best views in eastern Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was es zu sehen gibt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Staubern cable car climbs from about 500 metres to 1,745 metres in only seven minutes. It is known as the first cable car in the world that runs only on solar power and batteries. At the top, the terrace of Berggasthaus Staubern has a wide view over the Rhine Valley, Liechtenstein and the Austrian Alps. The trail then goes west along the Stauberenfirst ridge. On one side you see the green valley far below, and on the other side the rocky peaks of the Alpstein. After about an hour you reach the Saxer L\u00fccke at 1,650 metres. This narrow pass lies between the Kreuzberge, a row of sharp rock towers, and the H\u00fcser peak. Here you can see how the rock layers are bent and broken by a big fault line. From the pass, a steep path goes down to the F\u00e4lensee and the mountain inn Bollenwees, where you can rest by the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anreise und praktische Informationen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fr\u00fcmsen is in the Rhine Valley in the canton of St. Gallen. You can get there by car or by train and bus via Sennwald or Gams. The cable car runs from May to October, roughly from 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning until 22:00. Buy tickets online or at the valley station. The hike from Staubern to Saxer L\u00fccke and F\u00e4lensee takes about 2 hours. It is a marked mountain trail with some narrow and steep parts, so you need good shoes, sure feet and dry weather. From F\u00e4lensee you can walk on past Lake S\u00e4mtis to Br\u00fclisau in about 2 more hours and take the bus to Appenzell. Another option is to go back up to the Saxer L\u00fccke and down to Sax in the Rhine Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
