From Unterwasser you can go on numerous hikes ... eg the Thurweg ... or take the train up to the Chäserrugg ... the local transport connection is also great, so you can easily take the bus back to Unterwasser after a hike, for example

Thur Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Just a few minutes from the post bus stop in Unterwasser, it's accessible on a flat path. A beautiful gorge awaits. Along the way, there's a barbecue area on the banks of the Säntisthur.

View of the Churfirsten

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Plattenwied you can enjoy a magnificent view of the rolling valleys and distant peaks. Take the time to appreciate the panorama that unfolds before you, especially at sunrise or sunset, when the light casts a golden glow over the landscape.

Unterwasser Valley Station (Chäserrugg)

Highlight • Rest Area

Chäserrugg Unterwasser Train Station
In summer 2024 (opened on December 13, 2024), the valley station in Unterwasser was rebuilt and now connects arrival, stay, and onward travel in the style of a train station. At the same time, the funicular between Unterwasser and Iltios was also renovated. Learn more about the new Unterwasser train station with its new funicular, café-bar, and Tourist Information Center.
The "Unterwasser Train Station" valley station is the sixth building in the Chäserrugg area designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron. The building connects the valley station of the new funicular with the café-bar, Tourist Information Center, and offices of the Klangwelt (sound world). A variety of guest needs are united by the architecture of the upper Toggenburg.
