After our company sponsored winter sports event in Toggenburg, I took the opportunity to activate the highest (and easiest accessible) summit of the Churfirsten group: Hinterrugg. The summit next to Hinterrugg (Chäserrugg, not SOTA) is easily accessible from Unterwasser by a funicular to the intermediary station Iltios, followed by an aerial cableway up to Chäserrugg (2262m). On the way up, the fog layer was crossed and an amazingly beautiful WX and view presented itself. From Chäserrugg, it only took about 15min to the final summit using snow shoes. On the way up, a narrow ridge had to be passed.
