Mels

Mels is located in Sarganserland in the Seez valley and therefore belongs to Heidiland. The Weisstannental is as well as the mountain Pizol part of the municipal area of Mels. The Weisstannental is very quiet and has many waterfalls. Since there is no through traffic, chamois, bearded vultures and ibexes also feel at home here. The mountain Pizol rises between the Tamina valley, the Weisstannental and the Calfeisen valley. Mels as a village has a beautiful old village center with many shopping and gastronomic facilities. It shows especially many old chapels and churches. There are also many information boards about the historical development of the village, a castle ruin, a small castle and a prehistoric-medieval hilltop settlement. The scenic surroundings are a paradise for hiking lovers. A beautiful mountain scenery, many rivers and streams and abundant old church buildings characterize the landscape.

“A trip worth taking! The short hike was easy and pleasant. Marc is very friendly and explained to us how to handle the animals really well. We had a lot of fun and definitely want to come back!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first-ever paragliding experience in Interlaken, Switzerland, and it was absolutely amazing! 🇨🇭🪂 The views were breathtaking, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to my awesome pilot, Tinu, for making me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so much fun! And of course, my “George Clooney look-alike” pilot 😂 Definitely one of the highlights of my Switzerland trip. I would 100% do it again! Danke schön, Tinu! ❤️”
