Hiking is definitely no longer a minority interest. It is enjoying a remarkable revival. As good fortune would have it, Mount Pizol, Bad Ragaz’s local mountain, has countless hiking trails, including what is arguably the most beautiful panoramic route in Switzerland.

Allow your gaze to wander over the Alps of Eastern Switzerland, Grisons and Austria, study the Pizol Glacier on the summit of Mount Pizol (2844 metres above sea level) and the Graue Hörner group. Investigate the extensive mountain flora and fauna on well-surfaced mountain paths. See your reflection in crystal-clear mountain lakes and come across marmots, eagles, ibexes and the mysterious stone cairns. Explore the wild gorges of the Tamina Valley, hike historic paths and discover the legendary source of our beneficial thermal spa water. In whatever direction you set off, the pre-alpine region around Bad Ragaz offers countless hiking routes, Nordic walking trails and bike tours. With different degrees of difficulty and realistic time data your decision is made all the easier.
