Trail description

An 11 km high traverse of about 930 m of climbing between Gaffia and the Pizol hut above Bad Ragaz, the 5-Seen-Wanderung past five mountain lakes: Wangsersee, Wildsee, Schottensee, Schwarzsee and Baschalvasee. The turquoise Wildsee lies below the Pizol glacier and summit, and the route looks over the Sardona tectonic area and the Rhine valley. Gondolas and chairlifts from Wangs reach both ends; the high point is about 2,490 m.
