Description

Via the nature trail, you reach the Taminaschlucht from Valens across meadows and through woods. Once at the bottom, overhanging rock faces, the magical atmosphere, and the unique silence will amaze you. If you like, visit the warm spring or the baroque building of the Old Bad Pfäfers. A nice walk, accompanied by the sound of the Tamina, leads out of the gorge to the spa town of Bad Ragaz. You can return to the valley on foot or by post bus.

Hidden Gem

After the hike, you can relax in the thermal pool of the Valens Clinic.

Safety Note

Depending on the weather, it can be very slippery in the gorge.
