Start in Ragnatsch and take the cable car up to Pardiel. A steep climb leads up to Vilan, where you enjoy incredible 360-panoramic view over Sarganserland. From there the trail drops down vers steep before climbing up all the way to Margelchop - another highlight of this run. After another long downhill you pass the Voralpsee, before climbing back up to the ridge.
