Palfries Panorama Bike No. 477

Start and finish of this route is the historic town of Sargans at the foot of the Gonzen, which today houses an interesting show mine with a restaurant. After briefly following the Rhine, a steady climb mostly on a paved road begins from Trübbach. Above Labria, the landscape changes abruptly. After a short time, you reach the Palfries high plateau and are overwhelmed by the panorama. Riding along the foot of the Alvier mountain range, you overlook the entire Heidiland holiday region with Sarganserland, Walensee, and the Churfirsten. From the former Walser settlement on Palfries, an almost 600-year-old town hall of the free Walser still remains today. The descent begins with a beautiful singletrail and continues on an alpine road through original natural landscapes of wild character. From the Sennis mountain inn, it goes on via Valaschga, past the Hagerbach experimental tunnel, and after crossing the motorway, back to Sargans.
