From Basel: Mount Säntis, St. Gallen Old Town UNESCO Library｜Switzerland

Begin your adventure with a scenic train ride to the Appenzell region, a picturesque area known for its rolling green hills, traditional farmhouses, and vibrant Swiss culture.

Then, ascend to the summit of Mount Säntis by cable car. The ride itself is an exhilarating experience—gliding above dramatic cliffs and mountain slopes. When you reach the top, you’ll be greeted by spectacular panoramic views stretching across six countries on a clear day: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, France, and Italy.

Next, explore St. Gallen’s charming Old Town. Wander through cobblestone streets and admire the bay windows of the historic buildings.

Finally, step inside the UNESCO-listed Abbey Library of St. Gallen, one of the oldest and most stunning libraries in the world. This Rococo masterpiece houses a priceless collection of ancient manuscripts, medieval volumes, and rare texts dating back over 1,400 years.
