Bad Ragaz is surrounded by amazing natural wonders and quiet places to explore, linger and unwind. The Tamina gorge, Lake Cauma and Lake Walen are perfect destinations for leisurely moments or short discovery tours.
The mystical Tamina gorge
Around 1240, hunters discovered a 36.5°C spring in the Tamina gorge. And so began the long history of Bad Pfäfers and later Bad Ragaz. Visit the museum in Altes Bad Pfäfers and learn all about the ancient bathing tradition. A path leads you into the interior of the rock and to the source of the healing thermal spring. It takes about an hour to get to the Tamina gorge on foot, but there is also a regular public bus service.
Our concierge will be happy to provide you with more information.
Lake Cauma
Due to its bright turquoise water, Lake Cauma is often referred to as “the Caribbean of Switzerland”. Swimming, relaxing or sunbathing – a detour to this beautiful lake is the perfect add-on to any excursion. There is also a self-service restaurant with a terrace and separate lounge on the shores of the beautiful bathing lake. Lake Cauma is 35 minutes away from Bad Ragaz by car.
Lake Walen
A mild climate, a fjord-like lake and the majestic backdrop of the Churfirsten mountain range: the region around Lake Walen is a world unto itself. Take in the picturesque natural surroundings during a boat trip on the lake. In addition to the regular boat service, various event and themed boat trips are also available throughout the year. Lake Walen is ideal for swimming and water sports of all kinds on warm days.
