Wil

Wil is a historic abbey town in the canton of St. Gallen and is considered the gateway to Toggenburg. The best-preserved old town in eastern Switzerland impresses with picturesque half-timbered houses, romantic arcades, and the monumental Hof zu Wil. A spacious pedestrian zone borders directly on the traffic-calmed old town, and the distinctive Wiler Tower offers panoramic views from the Lake Constance region to the Alps. Thanks to its central location, Wil is a popular destination for day trips in eastern Switzerland.

“Amazing time. Money well spent on guide with my travel companion not interested in this activity I was thankful I had someone with me encouraging me and giving me so much historical and local history. I just wish I had known I needed my wallet to on the adventure. I had no idea it didn’t end anywhere near the start! Ithink communication should be improved so tourists know you need to plan your way back UP to the starting point to retrieve your belongings or return your rental shoes, etc. Options area) $7 1way cable car ticket UP to Murren, or 45 min hike back UP to Murren. This was not clear for anyone in our group.”

“We had an absolute wonderful time! This company is one of the best. They were very prepared and professional, even providing us lockers, water shoes, and water jackets. The equipment was high quality and made the paddling very easy. The guide was very knowledgeable and took the tour at the groups pace. We never felt rushed or bored. Excellent activity and 10 out of 10 would recommend to others.”
