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 December - March you have to take the chair lift from Krummenau up to the Alp ELL.
From there it is about 300 meters on foot to the alp.
You can ask the railroad to transport your luggage to the hut.
Cost 20.-, if the train is not running we make transports as far as it is possible Cost 30.- per trip.
In the winter months, please be at the Krummenau valley station by 4 p.m., because you have to take the chair lift up, the train doesn't run later.
