Excursions on Ascension Day and Whitsun

The mountain railroads in Heidiland resume operations in May. This means you can not only enjoy the view from the top, but also go on a hike or two. We have summarized the opening times of the mountain railroads and the best hiking suggestions for spring for you.

The Tamina Gorge is always worth a visit. Whether on a hike or a family-friendly trip by post bus. This is the source of the 36.5° warm thermal water that has made Bad Ragaz a spa resort. On the public guided tour through the Tamina Gorge and the old Pfäfers baths, you will learn interesting facts about the centuries-old bathing culture.

Life returns to Flumserberg over the long Whitsun weekend. The two fun attractions FLOOMZER and CLiiMBER on the mountain will be open again. The summer toboggan run from Chrüz to Tannenboden and the climbing tower on the Prodalp are sure to put a big grin on the faces of young and old alike.

The BlueSalamander BikerTrail will also be in operation this weekend, along with the associated railroad facilities.

When you first arrive at the Walser settlement of Sankt Martin in the Calfeisen Valley, you feel like you're in another world. The over 700-year-old Walser settlement in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tectonic Arena Sardona is now home to an Alpine farm and a mountain hotel and manages the balancing act between tradition and modernity with breathtaking ease. Go and experience it!

Okay, jumping into Lake Walen is probably only for the hardy at the moment. However, the steep northern shores, which are only accessible by canoe or stand-up paddle, are perfect for exploring by water. You can get the right equipment for your water adventure at Intersport Walensee in Unterterzen or at the sagisteg at the sagibeiz in Murg.

If you prefer to recharge your batteries in the great outdoors, then springtime Heidiland is the place for you. Discover spectacular waterfalls that plunge impressively into the depths or explore the region by bike or on the hiking trails.

We'll spare you the old saying about the weather and clothing, ok? But let's face it: there are simply some days that are less suitable for spending time outdoors than others. To make sure your planned excursion doesn't fall through, we've collected 57 ideas that are ideal for a bad weather program.
