The Chäserrugg (or Käserrugg) is a mountain of the Appenzell Alps located in the Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann municipality (Toggenburg region) in the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, rising to 2,262 metres (7,421 ft) above sea level.
It is the easternmost of the "seven peaks" of the Churfirsten, the other six being, running east to west, the Hinterrugg (2,306 m (7,566 ft)), Schibenstoll (2,234 m (7,329 ft)), Zuestoll (2,235 m (7,333 ft)), Brisi (2,279 m (7,477 ft)), Frümsel (2,263 m (7,425 ft)), Selun (2,205 m (7,234 ft)). In spite of it being counted among the "seven peaks", it has a modest prominence of just 14 m (46 ft), forming part of the ridge ascending to Hinterrugg. The mountain overlooks Lake Walen (Walensee) and Seez Valley to the south and the Thur Valley and Alpstein range to the north.
