Details
Description
From Wangs, the Pizol railway travels, in three sections, to the Pizolhütte (2227m) on the Wangersee. During the climb that lasts roughly one hour, a broad view opens up over the East Swiss, Grison and Austrian Alps. From behind the Wildseelücke (2493m above sea level), the Wildsee appears. Enjoy encaptivating views of the Pizol glavier, with the 2844m high Pizol summit and the Graue Hörner.
This is followed by a brief descent to the deep-blue Schottensee. On the gentle rise over the Schwarzplangg, the view extends back over the Sardona heritage site, with the Pizol glacier, Ringelspitz, Piz Sardona and Glarus Alps. You now descend to the dark Scharzsee (2368m), where ibex, chamois and eagles can be seen.
Passing the legendary Steinmannlis, you reach the final descent over the east face of the Gamidaur, which leads to the fifth and final lake, the green Baschalvasee (2174m). Next is the descent to Station Gaffia; the mountain railway returns to Wangs in two sections from here
Note(s)

Safety Note
We strongly recommend starting the hike by 11:00 am at the latest. Please note that you must be at the Gaffia chairlift at 4.30 pm or at the Pizolhütte at 4.00 pm, otherwise you will miss the last descent. The last descent with the gondola lift from Furt is at 5.30 pm. After that, transportation by Pizolbahnen AG is no longer possible.
Herd protection dogs are expected to be on duty on the Gaffara Alp during the first two weeks of August. The dogs will be kept on a lead in the morning and only allowed back to the sheep in the evening. This means that there is no risk to hikers during the day. If anyone is in the vicinity of the alp early in the morning, late in the evening or at night, caution is advised (e.g. when bivouacking).
