Description

From Pardiel, the legendary Beggar's Path leads past rare mountain flowers over the Zanuz ravine to Alp Tristeli. With a view of the impressive Calanda massif, it continues to Alp Lasa. From there, the ascent begins along the beautiful sunny slope to Wangsersee at 2,227 m above sea level and to the Pizol hut. Along the entire Beggar's Path, with a bit of luck, chamois can be seen repeatedly. You also have a sensational view into the Zanai Valley with the Zanai Peaks in the background. Upon reaching the Pizol hut, you hike back to the Laufböden station, from where you take the chairlift back to Pardiel and Bad Ragaz.
