Details

Description

The hiking trail leads steadily uphill from Pardiel over Obersäss and Laufböden up to the Laufböden high plateau. During the ascent, there are repeatedly picturesque views into the Bündnerland, the Rhine Valley and towards the Churfirsten. The hike is especially worthwhile in spring when the path passes along blooming flower meadows.

Equipment

Day hiking backpack (approx. 20 liters) with rain cover, sturdy and comfortable footwear, weather-appropriate and durable clothing in a layered system, possibly telescopic poles, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, first aid kit, pocket knife, mobile phone, possibly headlamp, maps

Directions

From Pardiel we follow the path towards Obersäss. There we turn left at the reservoir and follow a section of the Edelweiss trail. Shortly afterwards we reach a fork with a signpost, where we follow the path towards Laufböden. This leads us over a steep slope, on which the Zanuz ski slope runs in winter, up to Laufböden on the Pizol high plateau.

Directions

Public Transport

The Pizol area is quickly and conveniently accessible by public transport: from Zurich and St. Gallen in one hour to Sargans or Bad Ragaz, from Chur in 15 minutes. From the Sargans and Bad Ragaz railway stations, buses run in a few minutes to the valley stations of the Pizol cable cars.


For the journey to the Pardiel-Laufböden hiking trail, we recommend the Bad Ragaz valley station.

Travel Information

For the Wangs valley station take the Sargans exit and for the Bad Ragaz valley station the Bad Ragaz Nord exit. The valley stations are well signposted from the motorway exit. Both valley stations are only 5 minutes from the motorway exit and accessible in winter without snow chains or other aids. Ideal accessibility via the A3 (Zurich-Chur) and the A13 (Lake Constance-Sargans-Chur).
