Wildhaus

The Wildhaus ski area lies between the Churfirsten and the Säntis in the upper Toggenburg and extends between 1020 and 2076 m above sea level. It offers 28 kilometres of pistes, six lifts, three fun parks and the Klangslope, as well as the Wildhaus snow sports school with its own children's area.

Families and Kids

The Wildhaus snow sports school teaches the youngest children their first turns on the slopes with Snowli and a dedicated children's ski instructor team, and has its own children's area. The Klangslope offers waves, curves, a snow house and sound elements such as a rideable piano and a glockenspiel, plus a tunnel with images of traditional life in the Toggenburg. There is also a large adventure playground at Oberdorf with a big bouncy cushion and a large shaded sandpit.

Food and drinks

Dining options at Wildhaus include the Berggasthaus Oberdorf with traditional Toggenburg specialities and family menus, the Berggasthaus Gamsalp with a self-service restaurant and sun terrace, the Gamserrugg Hütte serving coffee and snacks, and the 'Pizza am Pistenrand' snack bar with malt-pomace pizza on the Freienalp slope. A Gräppelen Bar is also available for an après-ski drink.
