Turn-by-turn directions
The tour starts at the Gaffia station, which can be reached by gondola and chair lifts of the Pizolbahnen from Wangs and via Furt. From the station, follow the signpost in the direction of Baschalvasee. After a few metres, there is already a refreshment stop at the old Alp Gaffia. Along the mountain stream we take the first ascent to Chrutplangg under our feet. To the south we admire the striking Gamidaurspitz. At Basürla we branch off and after another short ascent we reach the Garmil, which rewards us with a magnificent panoramic view.
For the way back we have various possible combinations:
Continue to Fürggli, where we then branch off towards Furt. On the zigzag path we descend 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 we reach the Bildstöckli of St. Brother Klaus. After a few minutes we reach the ford, the end point of the hike.
