Description

The winter hiking trail leads from Pardiel via Obersäss, Schwamm Lift and Wissi Stei to Laufböden, the colloquially known "Point 22", at 2,222 m above sea level. During the ascent, it is not only the view upwards into the snow-covered mountain landscape that is convincing, it is also worth looking back down into the valley, where you can enjoy a fascinating panoramic view over the St. Gallen Rhine Valley to Lake Constance.

The Laufbodenstübli mountain restaurant awaits you on Laufböden and spoils you with delicious food and drinks as well as a cosy sun terrace and a great view. If you would like to extend the hike, you also have the option of adding the Pizol Panorama Höhenweg as a one-hour walk on the high plateau.

Geheimtipp

Enjoy the sun on the popular wooden wall on the terrace of the mountain restaurant Laufbodenstübli and watch the hustle and bustle from the running floor lift.

Sicherheitshinweis

The winter hiking trail is also used as a ski touring slope (only for the ascent, no descents allowed). Please adhere to the generally applicable rules, make sure before crossings and when running that there is no danger to you or other slope users uphill and downhill and adapt your behavior accordingly so that no one is endangered, harmed or restricted in the exercise of his activity.

Ausrüstung

Directions

We start the tour at the mountain station of the gondola Lift Bad Ragaz - Pardiel. From there we zigzag towards Obersäss.
