Wildhaus

The landscape around Wildhaus is a high Toggenburg valley of pasture, woodland and pre-Alpine slopes, which has shaped both the scattered settlement pattern and the local mountain-tourism economy. The village stands near the headwaters of the Thur, with the Alpstein massif rising to the west and the Churfirsten range defining the broader Toggenburg horizon. Wildhaus is closely associated with Huldrych Zwingli, the Swiss Reformer, who was born here in 1484; his birthplace is preserved as a museum. Hiking, winter sports and the Wildhaus mountain railways make the village an active base throughout the year.
