We are Stefanie, Sabine, Evelin, Nadine, Tina and Celia, the six trainees from Switzerland Tourism. Trainees on Tour is a project launched by us to introduce the Grand Tour of Switzerland to our generation (the 20-30 year olds). In two groups we went out to discover the most beautiful places, to find exciting and fun activities, to spot top hotels and restaurants, and much much more. Stefanie, Sabine and Evelin covered the parts of western Switzerland and focused their activities on culture and culinary travel. Nadine, Tina and Celia ventured out to eastern and southern Switzerland to get off the beaten track and to be active in the region's pristine nature.

Hiking in the Appenzellerland

After this good start into the day we begun our two-day hike. The way up to the Seealpsee took us a little bit more than an hour. We passed by free-living cows and goats and were impressed by the stunning mountains around us. At the Seealpsee we enjoyed a picknick and cooled down. If you want to stay at the Seealpsee for the night, you can enjoy a night at the Berggasthaus Forelle for just CHF 40.- Free use of the rowboat the next morning included.

We continued our walk for nearly an hour up the mountain direction Ebenalp. When we arrived at the cliff, there was this nice alpine hut built into the rocks - the Aescher.

On the terrace we enjoyed a cold Ana's Spritz - the refreshing drink we knew from the morning - and the stunning view over the Appenzellerland. For dinner we ordered Rösti, the speciality of this place. Even though it is a quite touristic location, we were not disappointed by the food and service. More precisely, we were surprised by the delicious Käserösti (cut potatoes with cheese) and the friendly staff.
