Bad Ragaz-Oberdorf-Bad Ragaz (SG) Hike (Easy)
Highlight • Trail
Today we went to Bad Ragaz :-)
This tour, which is easy for me, starts directly at the parking lot at Bad Ragaz train station (address: Unterrainstrasse 1, 7310 Bad Ragaz). There is a parking fee for a full day, which costs CHF 6.00. Important: Payment can only be made with the SBB P+Rail app.
Right after the start, after about 1.5 km, the trail begins to climb. After the first climb, the trail continues with a variety of downhill sections, then straight ahead again, and later a short climb.
We really enjoyed this tour because the paths are truly varied, very clean, and well-maintained. Time and again, there are beautiful views of the Alps and down to Bad Ragaz.
FYI: If you follow the route like I did, there are only a few benches, where we took a break for food and a drink. The first regular places to sit only appear after about 10 kilometers.
There are beautiful waterfalls to admire along the way - simply fantastic! We really enjoyed this wonderful hike.
Important: For me, it was an easy hike. However, I emphasize again and again: For someone else, it could be quite strenuous. A good level of fitness is definitely necessary. Hiking poles are not essential, but they are certainly helpful for those who would like additional support.
