Details

Description

On the Gamidauerspitz and the Garmil, the Sarganserland and the St. Gallen Rhine Valley lie at our feet. To the left, the Churfirsten peaks rise out of the ground, while to the right, the view stretches as far as the Grisons mountains. With a bit of luck, you may even spot chamois or eagles along the way. Information boards about the UNESCO World Heritage Tectonic Arena Sardona also line the trail.

Hidden Gem

The Berghotel Gaffia is the ideal overnight accommodation and starting point for the tour, especially for the combination of the two half-stages.

Equipment

Day hiking rucksack (approx. 20 liters) with rain cover, sturdy and comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate and hard-wearing clothing in multiple layers, telescopic poles if necessary, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, first aid kit, pocket knife, cell phone, maps

Directions

From the Gaffia mountain station, follow the signpost in the direction of Baschalvasee. After a few meters there is already the first refreshment stop at the old Alp Gaffia. The path now leads up several hairpin bends over the Chuetschingel until we reach the Baschalvasee after approx. 1h 15min. The destination, the Gamidauerspitz, is already in sight. From Baschalvasee, we follow the signpost in the direction of Schwarzsee. After a few more meters in altitude, we reach the Baseggla point at 2280 m above sea level. From this point, we follow the ridge to the right and after approx. 200 m we reach the highest point of today's tour, the Gamidauerspitz.

From the Gamidauerspitz we continue downhill. The Garmil rises up in front of us. At the Basürla signpost, we follow the path in the direction of "Fürggli via Garmil". Once on the Garmil, however, we do not continue in the direction of Fürggli, but take the same route back to the Basürla junction. There we follow the signpost to Gaffia Station, which we reach after just under an hour.
