Plan your lake time
Destination guide

Altenrhein belongs to the Swiss lakeside municipality of Thal. Markthalle Altenrhein in Staad adds colour through an architectural project based on Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s ideas. Plan the building and a waterfront visit as separate stops.

What to explore

Three good reasons to visit.

01

Markthalle Altenrhein

Look beyond the overall view. Shapes, façades and small details make this stop interesting. Check current visiting arrangements if you want to go inside.

02

Altenrhein

Let the streets and little views guide you. This stop rewards slowing down, pausing and giving the place time.

03

Gemeinde Thal

Let the streets and little views guide you. This stop rewards slowing down, pausing and giving the place time.

Leave room to wander. Bring an idea.

A day that could be yours

The Markthalle is a good reason to notice shapes, colours and details. Plan this architectural stop deliberately. A later waterfront visit is a separate stop in the municipality and needs its own route.

A little escape

Make Markthalle Altenrhein your main stop. Leave room for a pause afterwards and only then decide whether to explore further.

With more time to spare

If you wish, add Altenrhein to a visit to Markthalle Altenrhein. Check the connection between them and plan a longer break. These are flexible ideas, not a fixed circular route.

Plan your visit

Opening hours, admission, tours and timetables can change with the season. Check current details with the provider before visiting. If you need step-free access, suitable parking or other assistance, ask the destination directly.

Getting here

Choose your precise starting point and destination. Compare current train and bus connections with a road journey. Plan the final stage and your return too; boat services depend on the season.

Not every holiday moment needs an attraction. Take time between visits simply to watch the water.
