Cable car
Take the longest cable car in Appenzellerland up to 1,663 m above sea level and enjoy the breathtaking 360° panorama from the Alpstein massif to Lake Constance. With a mountain inn, circular trails and hiking trails and the longest toboggan run in Eastern Switzerland, there is plenty to discover.
The valley station of the cable car is right next to the Appenzeller Bahnen stop.

Your piece of energy
Together with SAK, we installed a 2,640 m2 foldable photovoltaic system on our paved parking lot. The system consists of 1,320 panels and produces approx. 350,000 kWh per year. There are 660 panels available for interested guests to use. The Kronberg and SAK each use 330 panels directly.
Private individuals or companies who want to support a sustainable future and also invest in innovative technology can buy the right to use a panel. The right of use runs for 15 years.
Did you know that
around 150 cars in the Kronberg parking lot find shade under the foldable photovoltaic system?
the solar power plant produces around 350,000 kWh of electricity per year?
you can enjoy the sun while your car waits for you in the shade?
