The best mountain hikes around Pfäfers

Somehow the town is pretty dead, passed through several times but haven't seen anyone other than other tourists.

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.

Regitzer Spitz 1135 m above sea level, Fläsch At 1135 m above sea level, the Regitzer Spitz is the main peak of the Fläscherberg range in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It is the westernmost spur of the Rätikon range. The mountain lies within the municipality of Fläsch, with the village located slightly south between Regitzer Spitz and the Rhine to the west. The northern foot of the Fläscherberg forms the state and national border with the Principality of Liechtenstein. The latter's territory on the Fläscherberg never reaches higher than 660 meters, which is only 200 meters above the valley floor near Balzers.

A very popular ski tour summit, although most people only go as far as the saddle. The ascent to the summit sometimes requires crampons and an ice axe, especially when the safety ropes are still covered in snow. When there is good snow to walk on, like today, you can do without. However, the path is exposed. Great view from the summit cross.

Coming from the Wildseelücke, first walk along the Wildsee. Be careful, it's quite rocky and the path isn't always easy to find. You should then complete this section quickly because there's a risk of falling rocks. The climb to the Hochwart is quite steep, but easy to walk.
