We'd previously driven down the northern side of the Churfirsten Range on our way to Vaduz from the Rhine Falls so it was good to see it again from the other side.

The Churfirsten mountains, composed mainly of limestone, are part of the Appenzell Alps, situated in the canton of St. Gallen, along the northern shore of Lake Walensee.
The range consists of seven prominent peaks, often seen as iconic when viewed from Lake Walensee which is just down the road from here at Flums Hochwiese. These spectacular peaks include:

Selun (2,205 m)
Frümsel (2,267 m)
Brisi (2,279 m)
Zuestoll (2,235 m)
Schibenstoll (2,237 m)
Hinterrugg (2,306 m)
Chäserrugg (2,262 m)

Numerous trails lead to the peaks and offer breathtaking views of Walensee and the surrounding valleys.
The Chäserrugg peak, accessible by cable car from Unterwasser, is a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding.
The dramatic cliffs of the Churfirsten are ideal for paragliding and the contrast between the steep northern faces of the Churfirsten range and the calm waters of Walensee create a stunning natural landscape.
