Development
The Kronberg can be reached from Jakobsbad on several hiking trails and with the Jakobsbad – Kronberg cable car . The Kronberg can also be easily reached from Appenzell on a hike from the northeast, as well as from Schwägalp on the other, southern side of the Kronberg. In winter, a 7 km long, prepared toboggan run leads down to Jakobsbad.
As an easily climbed mountain, the Kronberg is a popular excursion destination and can also be hiked in winter on signposted snowshoe tours or winter hiking trails.
At the valley station of the Kronbergbahn there has been a summer toboggan run from the Alpine-Coaster system , a zipline and a fairytale world since June 28, 1999 . There are also two large playgrounds that are open to the public near the valley station.
