“Incredibly, this Panorama,” says the skier at the lunch break in the Pizolhütte. The Russian has arrived from Germany. Actually, he was aiming for the Grisons country, discovered but the beauty of the Pizol and has remained. Now, the Grisons, and the Rhine valley at his feet of Malans to the lake of Constance.
It is in the best snow, 1700 meters deeper iron Railways and cars weave in and out through the brown-Green of the fields and forests. Thanks to the northwards flowing river, on both sides of towering mountains and the villages seems to be the landscape like a model of construction delivery.
On the Pizol, the everyday world for a couple of hours behind. Or ten days, as the man from Moscow. He chews for a barley soup before curving after a chat with the waiter down to the valley. The chain of the Churfirsten and the Alviergruppe in front of you, over the Vorarlberg and Grisons peak.
Glorious past, the threat of bankruptcy
The Pizol ski area is actually made up of two Parts – the back, leading to Wang’s down, and the slopes, the direction of Betmoon Pardiel ways, reached from the valley station in Bad Ragaz. They are connected since the year 2000 by a drag lift. The Shuttle, however, were reasons, in 2007 the cost is almost closed, the threatened bankruptcy. However, after the bad news, investors were found and the Pizol ski runs could be saved.
Since 1954, this winter, to transport the athletes in the height of the history of the Skibergs goes back much further. As early as 1900, the area tour driver drew in the Schwarzbüel-mountain hut, and from 1915 in the SAC-hut, stayed the night. Among the early tour riders in the Pizol was regarded as the absolute Top Destination: “If someone asks, what are the three most visited and most famous Swiss ski mountains with the largest are departures, we: Parsenn answers-Weissfluh, Piz Sol, and close to Titlis. King of the Piz Sol, with its 2400-metre track”, one reads in the Yearbook of the Swiss ski Federation, published 101 years ago.
“As a Freerider, we always stay on this side.”Three boys above Wangs
Today, you can enjoy the 1700 altitude meters of downhill without the strenuous climb. Modern gondolas and ski lifts provide access to the ski area between the Start of the Pizolhütte left to 2227 metres above sea level all the way down to Wangs, if the slope remains open. But even if the snow conditions allow skiing only to Maienberg to 1045 metres in altitude, burning the thigh muscles. Because the slopes on the Wangser page are not comfortable width to “auto”, but quite sporty.
The three boys to see it this way: “We never go in the direction of Bad Ragaz. We are freeriders, that’s why we always stay on this side”, and reports of a self-confident, and glides with his friends on the back and front bent-up Ski to the chairlift, the enterprising Trio to Gaffia transported.
The gastronomic offer on the Pizol is diverse. Ten mountain restaurants to choose from, and some masses of Sunny weather, all of which are occupied. At the top of the Pizolhütte perched. The waiter is impressed by his lofty work: “I would never trade places with a Job in a five star hotel in the valley. The mood is good, and in the evening after a beautiful day I’m falling tired into bed.”
Fondue on the ski slopes prepare yourself
it Goes with the skis to the Bad Ragaz page, the running ground, the parlor, the urchigsten Locally on the mountain, with ausgestopftem grouse and Graffiti on the walls. The state of the art, Locally, the panoramic restaurant Edelweiss in Pardiel, also in the evening a popular meeting place, the train runs until 22.30. Who dips the bread better during the day into the Fondue, you can rent at the Pizol ski runs, a fondue backpack, with the stove and all the ingredients, from the chafing dish over bread and cheese to the white wine. With the fondue pot sitting somewhere in the snow. Also, pedestrians can take advantage of the offer.
“claimed My friend, here there is only blue slopes,” says an Amateur, who is laughing in the snow. “I lost control, but nothing happened.” To Bad Ragaz side, the slopes are wide and offer pure skiing pleasure. Picture book seems to be a moderate, such as drivers and riders hurtle inside against the light on the slopes 12 of the walking floors to Pardiel. On the black slope in the direction of sponge, you realize, that soon the night falls. The skiers are tired and careful. In the steep slopes, some sit in the snow and take a break.
Down from the snow, into the warm water
Really good, you can relax in the Wellness Village in Pardiel. Here was set up in an old gondola in a Hotpot. Or you drive into the valley, switch from the white to the blue world, and will crown the day’s skiing in the warm water of the Tamina Therme. The strained muscles from the day’s work to relax. In different warm Pools in the Indoor and outdoor area of the light Spa, you can like to relax like in the Sauna. Every hour is celebrated here a special infusion; the guests sweating to bet and applaud the sauna master.
The applause but also the result of a successful winter day, took its start with the enjoyment of the panorama.
