GEOTour Garmil – Station 1
A personal guide will guide you on the popular Garmil high-altitude hike and give you interesting details about the geology along the way via smartphone.

Description

Hello and welcome to the multimedia GeoTour to the Garmil. Look forward to this hike in the Pizol area, where the wonderful view will be a constant companion. Along the way, we will provide you with interesting information about the geology along the way. After all, the Garmil high-altitude hike is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Tectonic Arena Sardona".

The Pizol area is a popular skiing and hiking area and is accessible from Bad Ragaz and Wangs. The Pizol summit rises to 2844 meters above sea level. Now we are on our way. Right at the beginning, this leads us past an inn, which used to be an alp.

The two valley stations are only 5 minutes away from the motorway exit and can also be reached in winter without snow chains or other aids. Ideal accessibility via the A3 (Zurich-Chur) and the A13 (Bodensee-Sargans-Chur). For the valley station Wangs take the exit Sargans and for the valley station Bad Ragaz the exit Bad Ragaz Nord. The valley stations are well marked from the motorway exit.

The pitch is the ideal starting point for excursions in the region and of course the Pizol area. Bad Ragaz can be reached both by car and by postbus in just 5 minutes. The pitch can be used for a maximum of 2 consecutive nights (CHF 19.00 per night and vehicle excl. tourist tax).
