Engi Meadow Trail

Highlight • Trail

Be careful when driving through. If the cattle are in the pasture, there is a barrier that you can carefully drive through without getting off.

Voralpsee

Highlight • Lake

The idyllic Voralpsee is located at 1,123 meters above sea level in Grabs in the canton of St. Gallen. Nestled in a hollow on the Grabserberg, amidst alpine meadows and forests, this natural lake is located between the Alvier region and the Churfirsten mountains. At just under 550 meters long and 250 meters wide, the Voralpsee is rather elongated. Its depth is up to 12 meters.

The Voralpsee can be comfortably circumnavigated on a beautiful walking path. Due to its easy accessibility, the lake has become a popular destination for many lake lovers: hikers, walkers, barbecue-loving families, bikers, and mountain lake swimmers visit the lake in large numbers during the warmer months. In the summer months, swimming in the Voralpsee offers the necessary refreshment.

Ölberg Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

It's May and there's still a lot of snow on the high trail. Large sections couldn't be covered on foot. Otherwise, the view over the Rhine Valley is super beautiful. Lots of hiking trails invite you to take a detour to the left and right. Highly recommended, whether you're looking for easy biking on forest roads or more strenuous hiking trails.
