Description

From Pardiel, we hike along the legendary Beggar's Path past rare mountain flowers via the Zanuz Tobel to Alp Tristeli. We are always accompanied by the wonderful view of the Tamina Valley. The crowning glory is the Tamina Gorge, the source of the famous thermal water that makes the region so famous.

Hidden Gem

After a hike on the Pizol, the combined hiking & thermal spa offer allows you to enjoy pure relaxation in the Tamina thermal spa in the same thermal water.

Equipment

Day hiking backpack (approx. 20 liters) with rain cover, sturdy and comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate and hard-wearing clothing in multiple layers, telescopic poles if necessary, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, first aid kit, pocket knife, cell phone, headlamp if necessary, maps

It can get wet in the spring gorge, we recommend appropriate clothing.

Directions

From the Pardiel station, we follow the signposts towards Bettlerweg and hike via the Zanuz Tobel to Alp Tristeli. From Tristeli, the trail leads via Alp Branggis down to Valens. Along the way, we repeatedly cross the road that leads up to the alp. Once in Valens, we take the path towards the Valens Clinic and pass it on the right before reaching a hiking trail again, which leads us down to the Alter Bad Pfäfers. On the way, we pass a junction. Both directions are possible here. Either we hike directly to the Alter Bad Pfäfers or we choose the small additional loop down to the natural bridge over the Tamina Gorge to then also reach the Alter Bad Pfäfers, where the official entrance to the Tamina Gorge is located.

From Alter Bad Pfäfers, we return to Bad Ragaz either on foot (approx. an additional hour) along the natural road or by post bus.
