Description

From Sargans station, follow the signposted cycle paths to Mels. There begins a steady but gentle climb to Weisstannen. The closer you get to Weisstannen, the more often you can also see the rushing Seez.

In Weisstannen, keep to the right side of the valley and ride towards Alp Siez and Alp Walabütz. Just at Alp Siez, turn left and take the last section to Alp Walabütz. With an unobstructed view of the impressive 230 m high waterfall "Isengrind," you now reach Alp Walabütz at the foot of the Foostock.
