Description

E-bike tour to Weisstannen (42 km, 3h 45min)
From Bad Ragaz, the route leads past the first waterfall, the Saarfall. The ascent begins in Wangs via Fontanix and leads into the Weisstannen valley. Along the Seez, the next intermediate destination is the village of Weisstannen. The hike begins from there. The way back after the hike leads via Mels, Sargans and along the Rhine dam back to Bad Ragaz.

Hike to the Batöni waterfall arena (7.5 km, 3h)
There is plenty of space in Weisstannen on the village square along the Gufelbach and the e-bikes can be parked. The hike to Batöni begins. The path begins to climb steeply to Sässli. It now runs narrowly through forests and meadows. At Heuschopf, the view of the Batöni waterfalls opens up. A huge rock face marks the end of the valley. Above it, three waterfalls plunge into the depths. What a special place!
The easiest way back is via the path from the ascent. With the spectacular Batöni waterfalls still in mind, you reach Weisstannen.
