The peaks of the Churfirsten chain above lake Walen

Churfirsten, Canton St Gallen

The peaks of the Churfirsten chain rise to heights of between 2200 and 2300 meters above sea level. Their southern face, shown here, drops almost perpendicularly down to the Walensee, whereas to the north they slope down towards the Toggenburg area.
