Die Weitsicht auf dem Trail versetzt ins Staunen
The snowshoe trail on Pizol leads above the timber line and offers spectacular views to the Alpine panorama and into the Tectonic Arena Sardona. Thanks to the altitude there is most likely a lot of snow.

Description

Away from the bustle of the ski slopes, it is a special pleasure on the snowshoe trail Pardiel - Laufböden to enjoy the idyll of nature at Pizol.


Step by step the crackling of the snow lets our thoughts drift away and clears our mind. In doing so, we let our gaze wander over the Eastern Swiss, Liechtenstein and Austrian Alps and are enchanted by the mountain scenery. The fairytale winter landscape and the soothing movements provide recovery, relaxation and a vital body feeling.


The route ends on the Pizol high plateau at 2,222 m above sea level, which is like a naturally formed tribune in front of the UNESCO World Heritage Tektonikarena Sardona. The collision of Africa with Europe has piled up the Alps over millions of years. Original rock layers have been pushed on top of each other, folded and broken. Various testimonies and traces of these tremendous forces are particularly well visible in the Sardona World Heritage site.

Hidden Gem

At the destination, the Laufbodenstübli offers the possibility to round off the snowshoe hike with a fine lunch or a refreshing drink.

Equipment

Snowshoes can be rented on site: Pardiel Rent / www.pardielrent.ch
