It's a very nice place to go wandering

Just tried cable car and I recommend it It is next to Jakobsbad train station

If you travel from Zürich, you need to change trains in Gossau (most likely). Make sure to push the stop button before reaching Jakobsbad because the train only stops here on request. Round trip costs 38 Francs (as of 2018). In less than 10 minutes you will have reached the top (1663 mts. high) from which you can see Lake Constance, Säntis mountain and the nearby villages. A paradise for those into hiking. Amazing landscapes!

Beautiful mountain and you can take cable car up there and snow all years round even on summer time 🥰

Great fun and view from the top of the mountain

Save and fast access to the Kronberg where you can enjoy the fantastic view of the Alpstein and with some luck all the way to the Bernese alps.

As always good experience:) well organised and with all what adults and kids need to spent a good day in nature:)

A good place to go up by the granola and that walk down. Maizing view

It is a wonderful place to spend a whole day. The restaurant is good and there is rope park+tobaggan run (on rail)+huge splashy play ground+cable car for going upto the mountain. Two cons: Since it is in open area without shades when the sun comes it really burns. The playground shouldn't have a fee.

Very good place for kids, enjoyed toboggan ride very much.

I think they allow less people on the gondola

Very nice

Cable car from the start station at Jakobsbad up to the top station on the Kronberg. On top there's a stunning view on the north side of the Säntis mountain. Staff on site (ticket vending) was quick and helpful. Ticket prices very elevated though, even when only using a one way ticket (that's what takes one star away from a top rating). I recommend to take the ride up and then walk down to the station again. Very nice path, can even be done with kids. Count 2-3 hours downhill walk.
