About Stein SG
Stein is a farming village in the Toggenburg, part of Nesslau since 2013, set between the Alpstein, the Churfirsten and the Speer and crossed by the Thur. It sits at about 840 m and has fewer than 400 residents, spread with outlying hamlets such as Breitenau and Hinterberg. A stone arch bridge crosses the Thur and a covered wooden bridge spans the Wissthur stream. The Reformed church dates from 1497, and the Catholic church of St Jacob holds a Rococo pulpit from 1770. The homes are close together in the village. Evenings are quiet; in winter the Stockberg is a popular goal for ski tourers.

Stein SG villa holidays: questions answered
Can you ski from Stein SG?
Not from the village itself. Stein's Eggli-Stiegenrain lift closed in 2001, so downhill skiers take the bus to Wildhaus or drive to the Toggenburg ski area, while ski tourers head for the Stockberg, a popular touring peak.
Is Stein SG easy to reach without a car?
Reasonably. The PostAuto line between Nesslau, Wildhaus and Buchs serves the village every half hour, and Nesslau-Neu St. Johann is the end station of the Toggenburg railway.
What is Stein SG like in summer?
Quiet and rural. This is farming country by the Thur, with hamlets, old bridges and paths such as the Risi-Stockberg area for hiking, and the Klangweg sound trail is nearby at Alt St. Johann.
Do Stein SG homes suit larger groups?
Some do. Homes here usually sleep around six, a few sleep up to ten, and most have a garden. Pools and saunas are less common, so check each listing.
