Take the gondola from Bad Ragaz to Pardiel and then the chairlift to the starting point Laufböden. At the restaurant Laufbodenstübli, enter the well developed and runnable hiking trail in the direction of Panorama Mountain Trail / Wangsersee. At the junction Vilterser Seeli, turn right and descend until a marker above the lake, pointing back to Laufböden. From now on, a slightly wilder trail takes climbs steadily back up to the starting point Laufböden.
