Take the gondola from Bad Ragaz to Pardiel, followed by the chairlift to the starting point Laufböden. This trail follows the Panorama Mountain Trail towards Pizolhütte until Wangsersee. Behind Wangsersee, turn left direction Alp Lasa and follow the signs Bettlerweg. First on a forest road and then on a great flowy trail, you'll reach Laufböden. The path includes everything that lets a trail runner's heart beat faster: different terrains, climbs, downhills and a great view into different valleys and surrounding mountains. The final climb via Zanuzegg to Laufböden is mainly on easy forest roads, but nevertheless demanding. Back at Laufböden, the chairlift to Pardiel followed by the gondola take you back to Bad Ragaz.
