Gonten

The foothills of the Alpstein define the setting of Gonten — open pastures and dispersed farm buildings give this Appenzell Innerrhoden community a distinctly rural rhythm. The village lies on the Appenzell–Wasserauen railway line, linking it with Appenzell and the mountain country below Säntis. Gonten belongs to the Appenzell cheese-making region, where dairy farming remains central to local life and Appenzeller cheese is a noted regional product. It is also used as a starting point for walks, cross-country skiing and observing the changing seasons of the Swiss pre-Alps.
