Nowhere else can the formation of the Alps be seen as clearly as in the UNESCO World Heritage Tectonic Arena Sardona. Here, rock 270 million years old rises into the air. It was formed when the continents of Europe and Africa collided. Go on a discovery tour at over 2,000 m above sea level on the Pizol and immerse yourself in the spectacular mountain landscape. You can choose where you want to start the culinary hike: either at the valley station of the Pizol cable cars in Bad Ragaz or in Wangs. On the tour from Bad Ragaz, you take the cable car and chairlift to Laufböden and start with the starter in the Laufbodenstübli immediately after arrival. If you start the tour in Wangs, you first take the cable car and two chair lifts up to the Pizolhütte. From there you hike to the Laufbödenstübli (approx. 45min) and have a starter. The hike then leads along the Panorama-Höhenweg to the Pizolhütte, where the main course is already waiting for you. On the way you will find information boards about the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Tectonic Arena Sardona. Enjoy the panoramic view from the St. Gallen Rhine Valley to Lake Constance.
