In the Weisstannental you can experience the alpine summer from its most beautiful side. On the paved road you can get to the parking lot in front of the restaurant and in front of the dairy by car, motorbike or bike - an ideal destination for groups and individualists. You can hike along the Seez on well-developed hiking trails from Weisstannen to Vorsiez. On Sundays and public holidays you can take the 432 bus from Sargans train station to Vorsiez.
Chargers for e-bikes are available in the Vorsiez on request.
Whether for a few hours, a day or with an overnight stay - at Alp Siez you can forget everyday life and enjoy alpine life.

Sargans Castle
Highlight • Castle
The Sarganserschloss was first read in a document as early as 1282. In 1386 its owner, Count Johann I (called "Count Hans" for short) fought on the side of Austria near Sempach against the Confederates. Two years later he planned to take part in the battle against the Glarus people at Näfels, but luckily he did not appear with his people on the Kerenzerberg until the meeting had already been decided.
After the Old Zurich War, Sargans became subject to the Confederates. From then on (from 1459 to 1798) they administered this property as a common rule. 181 bailiffs replaced each other one after the other in the Sarganserschloss (each after a two-year term of office). The order of their appearance can still be read on the coat of arms that adorns the city side of the mansion: Zurich, Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Zug and Glarus. (After the Villmerger Wars, from 1712, also Bern.)
The castle has belonged to the local community of Sargans since 1899. Architect Eugen Probst renovated it sensibly at the turn of the century. In 1969/70 the facade, the ring walls and the retaining walls were subjected to another renovation with the help of Heimatschutz and the federal government and the canton of St. Gallen. A visit to the old manor house and the Sarganserländisches Heimatmuseum in the tower are worthwhile!
