Gonzen Summit View

Highlight • Summit

The Gonzen is a mountain peak in the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, at 1,830 m above sea level. It stands at the southeastern end of the Alvier Group, north of Sargans, like a wedge between the Seez and Rhine valleys, both of which are at the same altitude, making it an exposed vantage point. To the north, the Gonzen extends into the plateau, which lies on the west side in front of the chain of peaks from the Gauschla to the Gamsberg, and is only 160 m above sea level, making it easily accessible.

Path to the summit of Gonzen

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

It is an hour's walk to the Gonzen from the Palfries car park. An easy climb, without neck-breaking tours and without deep abysses, therefore suitable for families. The path first goes down the road to the first bend. Then past meadows and over small streams to the foot after which the Gonzen summit is reached after a short but easy climb (1830m). The walk and top offer beautiful views from Walensee, Flumserberg, Graubünden, Liechtenstein to Lake Constance. TIP: the parking meters only accept coins, bring up to 10 CHF in change.
