How to find the Alp Ell
Toggenburg is located in the middle of Eastern Switzerland, a good hour's drive from Zurich and the airport.
From the south of Germany:
Via Bregenz and St. Margrethen on the A13 to Haag, then in the direction of Toggenburg/Wildhaus or via Konstanz to Wil.
From the greater Zurich area:
Towards Rapperswil, then over the Rickenpass to Wattwil or via Winterthur towards Wil/Wattwil/Toggenburg.
Public transport:
In Toggenburg you can also get around by public transport. The routes Wil-Neusslau as well as St Gallen - Lichtensteig are accessible by train. And there are bus connections almost everywhere.

In the winter months from December to March you have to take the chair lift from Krummenau up to the Alp Ell.
After that it is about 300 meters on foot straight ahead to the Alp Ell.
For the luggage you can ask the railroad for a transport and then everything will be transported to the hut.
Costs 20.-. If the lift is not running, we also make transports as far as it is possible per trip the costs are 30.-.
Please pay attention in the winter months to the arrival time to 16 clock at the valley station Krummenau be because you have to go up with the chair lift, later the train no longer runs!
