The area around the Pizol summit is one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Switzerland, the famous 5-lakes hike is considered a classic. Two access roads from Wangs and Bad Ragaz - both easily accessible via the motorway and public transport - take visitors to the mountains of the Pizol. Theme trails such as the Heidi Trail and a varied mountain gastronomy enrich the summer offer here. With the children's Kneipp facilities or the water forest in summer, families in particular will find a wide range of activities here.

The neighbouring Weisstannental is popular with hikers, in the valley you can visit Sargans Castle or the former iron mine in Gonzen.
