Klangweg

The Toggenburger Klangweg (sound trail) combines a musical experience with a stunning landscape. Accompanied by superb mountain views, visitors can experiment with various sound installations made by local craftsmen using regional materials. The first part is 2.5km long and stroller friendly. If you prefer a longer hike, you can add the second part of the Klangweg that is another 3.5km long but not stroller friendly. The trail is open from June to October. There are various barbeque stations along the way.


Schellenursliweg


Schellen-Ursli is one of the most famous children’s picture books in Switzerland. On this 1.5km trail through the forest of St Moritz, several panels tell the story of the famous Engadin boy in different languages, accompanied by beautiful wood-carved figures depicting scenes from the story. This is a lovely trail with or without kids. For more information click here.
