Säntis- Schwägalp Pass

Schwägalp Pass (el. 1278 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps between the cantons of St. Gallen and Appenzell Ausserrhoden in Switzerland.
It connects
Nesslau-Neu St. Johann in Toggenburg in St. Gallen and Urnäsch in Appenzell Ausserrhoden. It is named after the Schwägalp peak (el. 1360 m.) on the north face of Säntis (el. 2502 m.), which is the starting point of the tram to the top of Säntis. It was built in 1935.
The pass road has a maximum grade of 12 percent.



There are two gondolas, each carrying 85 people
