Hi Yulius,

If you plan to visit these places in a single day, my suggested route would be as follows: Zurich – Wasserauen – Appenzell – St. Gallen – Zurich
Please use the SBB timetable to plan your journey: http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable

1. Take the earliest train out from Zurich to Wasserauen (Ebenalpbahn). This journey takes about 2 hours. The train station is located across the street from the Ebenalpbahn cable car station. The cable car that takes you to the Wildkirchli Hut runs every 15 minutes from 7.30 am. More information here: http://www.ebenalp.ch/en/welcome

2. From Wasserauen, there is a direct local train that takes you to Appenzell in 15 minutes. The Appenzell Village Museum is about 5 mins walk from the train station.

3. After exploring Appenzell, take the regional train to St Gallen (you probably have to switch trains in Herisau). Spend the rest of the day exploring St Gallen before heading back to Zurich. There are numerous regional trains between Zurich and St. Gallen.

With the Swiss Travel Pass, all train rides are covered and there’s no need to buy additional train tickets. In addition, you will get 50% discounts on the cable car tickets to Ebenalp and free entrance to the Appenzell Museum with the Swiss Museum Pass that comes with the STP.

I hope this gives you some ideas to plan your day trip.

Regards,
Anna

Dear Anna

I think the Itinerary is the best for me to start early in the morning from Zurich and in the evening back to Zurich.

Thank you for your kindness

Yulius, while in the town of Appenzell, I have heard the chocolate factory is worthy visiting. Here is some info for you if you like chocolate. 🙂 Larry

Chocolaterie (Chocolate Factory) Appenzell GmbH: Hauptgasse 16, Café-Conditorei Fässler. 0800-1830.

In the “Chocolat Manufacture Appenzell”, innovative chocolate creations merge with traditional Appenzell specialties from the confectionery shop at Café Fässler. In the middle of Hauptgasse, new Appenzell specialty dreams made of chocolate and other well-known sweets such as “Chlausebickli” (Bärli Biber) or the well-known and repeatedly copied “Marweesli” are being created in the traditional house.
