Painted house fronts, green hills below the Säntis and mountain inns on the ridges.
Appenzell is Switzerland at its most traditional: the village has painted façades and a cantonal assembly still held in the open square, the rolling hills are dotted with farms, and the Alpstein range rises behind them with the Säntis and the cliff inn of Äscher. Hiking from one mountain inn to the next is the way to see it; the cheese and the beer are local.
