Stockbergfrüh Wanderung

You start the day in the middle of the night, carpool to Lutenwil, and hike in the dark across meadows, pastures, forest trails, and ridges to the summit. As you go, it gets lighter and lighter, and at 1,781 meters above sea level, you’ll greet the sun as it rises behind the Säntis massif. This experience and the early-morning view of the Toggenburg will take your breath away. After descending via the same route, you’ll enjoy a well-deserved, delicious breakfast at the Gemsli Restaurant in Neu St. Johann.
