Directions

With the Pizol cable cars, we comfortably reach the high plateau of the Pizol ski and hiking area. The route starts at the Pizol hut at 2,222 meters above sea level. The route leads us directly south to Alp Lasa. From the alp, we use the well-ridable hiking trail as a single trail and thus reach the Lasatobel via Schleifböden and Dreher. At the fork, we take the left path and after about 2 km reach the old alp road, which we follow down to the village of Valens. We then continue downhill, passing Böden and Suldis, until shortly before the arch bridge over the Tamina Gorge. Here we turn left. The route leads us over a gentle ascent to Wildboden. From here we reach the valley station of the Pizol cable cars in Bad Ragaz via Chrinnenberg and past the Freudenberg ruins.
