Altstätten – Gais cog railway

The Appenzeller Bahnen railways operate between Altstätten town and Gais on a cogwheel narrow-gauge railway. The railway connects the St. Gallen Rhine Valley with the Appenzellerland, facilitating unexpected views over the Rhine Valley.
In the summer months, you can enjoy an unforgettable ride in the open observation carriage during sunny weekends. In winter, the snow situation permitting, a sledging slope is prepared. Sledges can be hired at the Appenzeller Bahnen railway station.
