Description

E-bike tour to Lake Chapfensee (39km, 4h)
The Chapfensee E-Bike & Hike Tour starts in Bad Ragaz and leads past the Freudenberg castle ruins (one of the largest castle complexes in the Sarganserland) with a beautiful view of the Rhine and Seez valleys towards Vilterserberg. After a short descent to Mels, the route climbs in Mels in the direction of Chapfensee. Soon the day's goal will be reached. The descent leads past further moorland landscapes to Plons. From here it is time to roll back to Bad Ragaz relaxed and refreshed. The railway path leads to Sargans. From there over the Rhine dam, the last few kilometres to Bad Ragaz have to be completed.

Circular hike Chapfensee (2.8km, 1h)
Once the e-bikes are parked at the parking lot of the Chapfensee, a leisurely walk around the picturesque reservoir begins. It's worth taking a break with a picnic. After a break and relaxing, it's back on two wheels.

Hidden Gem

Organize a small picnic and BBQ at Chapfensee.

Safety Note

Drive with foresight and behave respectfully towards other recreation seekers and road users.

Equipment

Normal bike equipment. Functional clothing is an advantage, as a longer ascent is followed by an equally long descent.
