Details

Description

The circular hike to the Guschachopf starts in the center of Bad Ragaz on Valenserstrasse. The route leads along a wide path past bodies of water, a youth guard house and the St. Anna Chapel. In the fall, it is worth taking a look to the right and left. There is a good chance of coming across mushrooms. The last part of the ascent leads up a flight of steps to the Guschachopf viewpoint. The sunny spot invites you to linger and take a deep breath. The panoramic view reveals many details of the region, such as the Tamina bridge, which towers above the treetops.

The descent is mostly on a well-maintained hiking trail through the forest. Only a short section has to be covered on the asphalt road before returning to the hiking trail. The hike ends back in the center of Bad Ragaz.

Hidden Gem

A stop at the St. Anna Chapel is well worthwhile: this architectural gem was built in 1174.

Safety Note

The ascent to the viewpoint is short and steep. Caution is advised on this section.

Equipment

Sturdy, well-worn shoes and a change of clothes in case the weather changes.
