The hike takes us from the Palfries mountain station via Alp Riet to the Gonzen summit cross. From here we have a phenomenal view of the surrounding mountains and the Rhine Valley.
Details
Beschreibung
We start the hike at the Palfries mountain station. The Palfriesbahn cable car takes us up around 1,250 meters in just 12 minutes. The cable car travels over an impressive waterfall (Ragnatscher Bach) and takes us up to the Palfries plateau.
We set off on a medium, rewarding mountain hike to the Gonzen summit cross. On reaching our destination, we have an impressive view of the Rhine Valley and the nearby mountains of the Principality of Liechtenstein as well as the Grisons mountains; the small town of Sargans and its castle lie at our feet.
Geheimtipp
At the Gonzenkreuz we have a great view. Here we can also watch paragliders doing their rounds.

Day hiking backpack (approx. 20 liters) with rain cover, sturdy and comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate and hard-wearing clothing in multiple layers, telescopic poles if necessary, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, first aid kit, pocket knife, cell phone, headlamp if necessary, maps
Wegbeschreibung
We start the moderately difficult hike in a south-easterly direction over the Chamm to the parking lot. There we leave the asphalted alpine road and take the path towards Alp Riet (Rieterhütte). The gently sloping hiking trail initially leads through wetlands, some of which are spanned by "wooden bridges", and then over alpine pastures to the aforementioned Rieterhütte huts. From there, a road leads up to Alp Folla. The mountain path branches off to the left. We hike across pastureland and over the ridge overgrown with lyme pines and shrubs towards our destination, the summit cross of the Gonzen.
