Beschreibung

The long variant of the Alpöhi trail run at Pizol is, contrary to what the name might suggest, not a route for beginners. Due to the many altitude meters covered along the way, it places high demands on fitness. The start is at over 2,200 m above sea level, which is also where the loop trail ends. Along the way, you first encounter the Wangsersee before leaving the usually busier area of the popular Pizol hiking area. Wonderful views of the neighboring Tamina valley await before returning to the starting point via Pardiel and Zanuzegg on a strenuous ascent. As a reward, the return trip is by chairlift and gondola back down to the valley. This route can also be planned from Wangs. Take the gondola and chairlift to the Pizol hut and then toward Wangsersee. Or take the original route in reverse running direction.

Geheimtipp

At Pizol, trail running workshops are held on various dates. They are accompanied by certified running guides and professional athletes.

Sicherheitshinweis

The technical difficulty of the trails is moderate, requiring attentive running in some sections.

Ausrüstung

Normal trail running equipment (trail running shoes recommended everywhere). Bring sufficient food and drink (self-catering principle). Maps and mobile phone with good reception.

Wegbeschreibung

From Bad Ragaz, we take the gondola to Pardiel and then continue with the chairlift up to Laufböden. From here, we run along the ridge path towards the Pizol hut until reaching the Wangsersee. After the Wangsersee, turn left towards Alp Lasa. We follow this trail to Alp Lasa and then follow the signs for Bettlerweg. First on a forest road and then on a great trail, we run towards Laufböden. Now it is time to recharge energy reserves. These are urgently needed for the final and continuous ascent via Zanuzegg back to Laufböden. The ascent takes place on an easy forest road and will challenge even experienced runners in terms of energy reserves. Upon arriving at Laufböden, we take the chairlift to Pardiel and the gondola back to Bad Ragaz.
