Details

Description

On a plateau above Pfäfers lies the lonely and deserted scattered settlement of St. Margrethenberg. The start and end point of the easy circular hike is the parking lot at the valley station of the Tristeli ski lift. On a slightly ascending hiking trail, it goes through forests and over flowery meadows towards the summit Pizalun. To the very top to the Pizalun viewing platform leads a steep but well-developed staircase. Up here, you literally have the Bündner Herrschaft and the Sarganserland at your feet. Thanks to the panorama panels, you can also name the many mountains all around. From Pizalun down towards Fürggli, a leisurely hiking trail leads past the mountain inn Jägeri. Back on the plateau, it goes on the rarely used road - partly along the mountain stream and past the chapel St. Margrethenberg - back to the starting point.

Hidden Gem

Wild animals are often observed on the meadow north below Pizalun. Best of all, with binoculars, of course.

Safety Note

The last meters up to the platform lead over a steep staircase.

Equipment

Depending on the weather, good footwear (hiking boots) is recommended, otherwise light trekking shoes are sufficient for the route.
