Beschreibung
We are still at the beginning of the hike, and there are already interesting details about the geology to discover. If we look to the right, we see a layer of light limestone on top of a dark limestone. But before we go into detail, it is helpful to learn a few facts about the formation of the Alps: About 200 million years ago, the primordial continent Pangaea broke apart into different plates. About 175 million years ago, when the African and Eurasian plates moved away from each other, the primordial Mediterranean Sea, also known as the Thetys, was formed between them. Layers of limestone and clay were deposited on the bottom and solidified into rock. Around 100 million years ago, however, a dramatic change began. The African plate began to move north again towards Europe. As a result, the rock was strongly pushed together, broke, folded and was pushed on top of each other.

Motorhome pitch
At our valley station in Bad Ragaz we offer public motorhome pitches in a quiet yet central location during the summer season.Thanks to the fields that line the square and the forest in the background, you can enjoy your peace and a nature experience with a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. The pitch is the ideal starting point for excursions in the region and of course the Pizol area. Bad Ragaz can be reached both by car and by postbus in just 5 minutes. The pitch can be used for a maximum of 2 consecutive nights (CHF 19.00 per night and vehicle excl. tourist tax).
