Wegbeschreibung

We start our route at the Gaffia mountain station of the Pizolbahnen. After an ascent via the Garmilweg, we reach the summit of the Garmil. About one third of this section is rideable, as the path has some larger steps and steep climbs. The descent goes down via the Fürggli to the Furt. Upon arrival at the Furt, you have the option to refresh yourself at one of the mountain restaurants. Afterwards, you can either return to Wangs by the Pizolbahnen gondola or continue biking via Maienberg and Valeis to Vilters.

The Pizol area is quickly and conveniently accessible by public transport: one hour from Zurich and St. Gallen to Sargans or Bad Ragaz, 15 minutes from Chur. From the Sargans and Bad Ragaz train stations, buses run in a few minutes to the valley stations of the Pizolbahnen.
