Hike over Iltios-Chäserrugg-Sellamatt to Alt St. Johann

We take the funicular to Iltios. The path leads us past Espel to Hinterrisi and further over Plisen through beautiful alpine flora to the saddle. Over the Schlachtböden - the name goes back to the dispute over this alp - we climb up to Chäserrugg, which has been accessible by aerial cableway since 1972. At the top, we are rewarded with a magnificent view down to Lake Walen and across to the Glarus, Central Swiss, and Grisons Alps.

Our path continues to Hinterrugg, the highest of the seven Churfirsten. Here we also have a beautiful view. Over a somewhat steep scree slope, later somewhat gentler, we descend along Hinterrugg via Gluris - Hinterlücheren to Zinggen and Sellamatt. We descend to the valley by chairlift or hike to Alt St. Johann (Variant A).

Note(s)
Inform yourself on the alpine flower educational trail about the alpine flora on the Churfirsten and enrich your knowledge of the splendid and diverse nature. The circular route leads from the Chäserrugg summit to Rosenboden and can be easily completed in 1 ½ hours.
