You could also show off how fit you are by walking up the hill directly alongside of the bahn, waving at those going up top the 'lazy way'.

On a clear day, the snow-capped peaks are prominently on display. Herrlich!

At the top you have 360 views of Appenzell, St. Gallen, Thurgau hills, the Alpstein mountain range, and the extensive Lake Constance region. I recently went to the top with my friend, and at the top there are MANY different hikes that you can start on. We only had a short time so we took a easy 15 minute walk on a easy path through the Wildkirchli Caves. In the caves prehistoric finds have been made and there is a little museum talking about the history of the caves housed in a old hermit dwelling. There were actual hermits that used to inhabit the caves as a place of worship from 1658-1853. At the top there is also a restaurant and guest house with 16 guestrooms. During the winter you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding. Definitely a must if you are in Appenzell and want to enjoy the local beauty. I want to go back when I have more time and can do so more extensive hiking!

The first part of the experience is a ride in an old-fashioned wooden train car with open sides to allow the scents of green meadows and cow manure to awaken the senses. Nice. But, then, we got off and walked aboard the double decker, convertible cable car and that's when the real adventure began! Steel cables and a pulley system glide the cable car up to a 7,000 (or thereabouts) elevation. At times during the ride, it felt like the car swooped over a hump causing everyone in the car to gasp and scream, not unlike being on a stand-up roller coaster. Meanwhile, the views were simply breathtaking. At the top, we were lucky enough to be the first group up so we had sweeping views of the mountains unfettered by crowds. This level has the a restaurant and gift shop, but if you go, do make the time to take the side trail or walk up to the top viewing platform for even more amazing views overlooking the lake region. You'll be rewarded for the effort!

There was no queue for the lift, and it was ready and waiting for us upon arrival one weekend afternoon. The ride was steady and smooth, giving us a gracefully view of the mountains and the valley below. It was fun watching the folks skiing become tiny as we traveled higher up the mountain. There were about 10 passengers in the cable car. We all rode comfortably together. There were seats, but most of us opted to stand to take in the view. Be sure to take out your camera, you'll get some great pictures! Ride time: 5 - 10 minutes.

Although there will be significantly less snow in the Summer compared to the Winter! You can stop at each cable car stop and walk around the quaint neighborhood and just stop at the breath-taking views. There are a few small shops in the neighborhood, but no big supermarkets or anything like that. You keep taking cable cars higher and higher and you get the most beautiful views of all the famous mountaintops and lots of great picture moments with the amazing background. Towards the top of the cable car stops, they sell food, drinks, and merchandise. Don't forget to visit the James Bond tower where they did a lot of filming at the tower and the entire scene where they ski down the mountain! TIP: USE YOUR SWISS PASS FOR HUGE DISCOUNTS FOR THE CABLE CAR RIDES. If you don't show the swiss pass when buying tickets, you will be paying a huge premium, the same price everyone without a swiss pass is paying!
