From here, a narrow forest trail S1-2 follows downhill, approx. 1 km long, with locally somewhat trickier and more dangerous sections. Only conditionally rideable for an average rider, but easy to push.

July 20, 2026,🚵‍♂️ Alp Gamidaur Bike Tour 471 ab Bad Ragaz

This tour on bikeroutes 471+25 is, with one exception, easy and good to ride, but includes a long steep climb.

First, you ride 8 km on flat tarmac to Wangs. There, first via Weisstannentalstrasse, the 11 km long steep ascent to Alp Gamidaur begins with 1200m of altitude gain in one go, i.e. over 10% on average, all on good …

We rolled to Wangs, followed by a climb of a good 1,200 meters. Via Fontanix to the Unter Precht, Ober Precht, and Gamidaur Alps. At Gamidaur, we exchanged a few words with the Alpine farmer and continued via Schönbühl and the Valaistobel to Sonnenberg/Vilters, and then over the Zeiger to Freudenberg/Bad Ragaz. A nice little door was there.

Time is not correct when imported via Garmin! Applies to all tours, so speed is also wrong.

Definitely one of the nicest Hike&Bike's we've done in recent years!!
We really liked both the bike and the hike section....
Again and again great views of the Weisstannental and the Churfirsten on the ascent by bike, later when hiking also beautiful views down into the Rhine Valley..

Actually, I wanted to drive around the Rhine Gorge, but the traffic jam caused by people traveling south and the weather forecast led me to this tour 😊 ...
Especially the first part (Gamidaur 471) was super nice, it was worth it for the picturesque waterfall alone 😍.
The second part (Tour 474) wasn't bad either, but rather where everyone …

A very beautiful tour. The view of the Churfirsten mountain range is always present. The panoramic views are beautiful in all directions.

The climb from Precht to Alp Gamidaur is quite challenging. But once you reach the top, it's simply a beautiful spot with a waterfall. The descent is also a lot of fun, with great views and a pleasant …
