Quarten

Quarten stretches from the northern shore of Walensee into the Alpine slopes of the canton of St Gallen, a position that has connected waterside hamlets with settlements higher above the lake. The municipality includes Unterterzen, Mols, Oberterzen and Quinten, giving it a dispersed character rather than a single compact centre. Walensee forms the defining geographic axis, while the Churfirsten range rises above its northern side. Quinten, on the lake’s northern shore, is known for its vineyards and is reached by scheduled boat services and walking routes. Around Unterterzen, transport links lead from the lakeside towards the Flumserberg mountain area. Trace Quarten’s place around Walensee and across eastern Switzerland by browsing webcams nearby.
