374.2 Espel-Stöfeli-Chäserrugg Gondola Lift
The new 10-seater Espel-Stöfeli-Chäserrugg Gondola Lift in the Toggenburg region of eastern Switzerland came into service in the same year that the summit building on the Chäserrugg mountain opened. The main purpose of the new lift is to optimize conditions for skiers. The installation replaces two existing drag lifts and provides a key link within the three parts of the Toggenburg skiing region (Wildhaus – Unterwasser – Alt. St. Johann). It reduces waiting times at the “bottleneck” Iltios station during the winter season and offers winter sports enthusiasts an alternative route onto the Chäserrugg. The new lift has three stations. The Espel base station (1262.5 m above sea level) is favourably located for skiing activities, lying close to the Iltios station in a valley bottom. The Chäserrugg top station (2071.5 m above sea level) sits on the ridge of the Chäserrugg. The Stöfeli middle station (1681.5 m above sea level), which also accommodates the drive terminal and depot for parking the cabins, is at the same altitude as the existing Stöfeli mountain inn.
