Wegbeschreibung
The tour starts at the Gaffia station, which can be reached by Pizolbahnen gondola and chairlift from Wangs and via the ford. From the station, follow the signposts in the direction of Baschalvasee. After a few meters, there is already a refreshment stop at the old Alp Gaffia. Along the gurgling mountain stream, we take the first ascent to Chrutplangg under our feet. To the south, we admire the striking Gamidaurspitz. We branch off at Basürla and, after another short ascent, reach the Garmil, which rewards us with a magnificent panoramic view.
There are various possible combinations for the way back:
- Continue to Fürggli, where we then branch off in the direction of Furt. The zigzag path takes us down to Vollenplangg and Fälli, both of which belong to Alp Mugg. On the last ascent, we once again enjoy the magnificent view of the St.Gallen Rhine Valley before reaching the wayside shrine of St. Brother Klaus. After a few minutes we reach the ford, the end point of the hike.
- Same way back
- Combinations with the summit quartet or the 5-lake hike
