Pfäfers

Pfäfers is located in Sarganserland at 820 m above sea level above Bad Ragaz. The village at the entrance to the Tamina Valley has about 630 inhabitants and belongs to Heidiland. To the west, Pfäfers comprises the area from Vättis to the Calfeisen valley. There is evidence that people lived here as early as the Stone Age. To the south, it includes the Tamina valley up to the Kunkelspass. Very popular with visitors is the Tamina Gorge with the Old Bath Pfäfers. This is the source of the healing spring that supplies 8000 liters of healing water per minute for Bad Ragaz. A 450 m long tunnel leads through the rocky gorge to the grotto. From June to October this dark and mystical gorge is illuminated with a light spectacle. The village is characterized by great differences in altitude. The reservoirs Gigerwald and Mapragg are also popular excursion destinations in Pfäfers

“Absolutely unforgettable! The snow groomer ride was impressive and truly special. Big thanks to Peter and Ruedi! An experience we'll always remember!”

“The six of us were picked up punctually by our guide Rolf at the station, and enjoyed a pleasant walk through the vineyards near Maienfeld. We gained lots of fascinating insights into the world of winemakers. Afterwards, we visited Lampert's winery where we learned all about the production of various wines and got to taste four different ones. Cheese and salami were served alongside. Overall, we had a very enjoyable and educational afternoon. It was a lot of fun!”
