Home of Olympic skier Simon Ammann, the quiet Swiss village of Unterwasser is a little-known ski and hiking resort located in the canton of St. Gallen, in the northeast of this mountainous little country. From the village, visitors can take the famous Iltios-Unterwasser Cableway to ascend to 1,350 meters above sea level, and then take an even higher-reaching cable car to the mountains above. Another nearby attraction is the so-called "Tone Trail," a unique scenic route along which master musicians have worked with local authorities to set up musical instruments that visitors can sound to produce beautiful tones that ring out through the Toggeburg Valley.

During the winter, visitors can take to the Wildhaus, Toggenburg, or Obertoggenburg mountains to ski or snowboard. Hotels in Unterwasser can be found at every price level, from budget Unterwasser hotels and even hostels, to rather costly boutique hotels and two, three, and even four-star institutions.
