Tamina Gorge near Old Bad Pfäfers - 36.5°C, 8,000 liters per minute. Source of our thermal water The Tamina spring is not only the namesake of our thermal spa, but also the source of our healing spring water. Europe's most abundant thermal spring rises in the Tamina Gorge near Bad Ragaz and was discovered in the early Middle Ages (in 1242). Mysterious Tamina Gorge In the Tamina Gorge between Valens and the hamlet of Bonadivis, the water of the Tamina River carves its way up to 200 meters into the earth. The narrow rock crevice of the Tamina Gorge is approximately 750 meters long and 70 meters deep. Near Old Bad Pfäfers, the gorge widens, and a road now connects Old Bad Pfäfers with the town of Bad Ragaz. Deep within the mystical Tamina Gorge beats its heart: the inexhaustible spring from which healing, body-temperature thermal water has bubbled for centuries. Among others, the physician and alchemist Paracelsus praised the healing properties of the spring water in the 16th century, which is considered an acratotherm due to its low mineral content and temperature of 36.5°C.

The Tamina Gorge is located above Bad Ragaz in the northern part of the Tamina Valley in the canton of St. Gallen. Between Valens and Bonadivis, the water of the Tamina has dug itself up to 200 meters into the rock for 15,000 years. The narrowest part of the crevices is 750 meters long and 75 meters deep. It is covered at the natural bridge. In the rear part of the Tamina Gorge is the thermal spring, which has water at a temperature of 36.6 degrees. From 1350 to 1969, the thermal water was used in Bad Pfäfers, in the Valens medical clinic and in the thermal baths in Bad Ragaz, for example to cure rheumatism. The water was piped there via long pipes.

Glacier was easy to cross with normal mountain boots and hiking poles

You have to look closely because the poles had fallen over and the line was also on the ice. Sticks or Grödel are recommended as it is very slippery, especially when getting out.

The Brandner Glacier, or rather its sad remnant, is easily accessible without any crevasses in the snow-free months with the appropriate equipment. Grodeln are recommended. The trail is marked with poles and provided with a fog cord. The glacier is a visible example of the effects of ever-increasing temperatures. It used to be the third largest glacier in Vorarlberg. In the early 1980s there were still plans for a summer ski area. The disappearance of the Brandner Glacier or Brandner Ferner will progress continuously in the coming years until it melts completely. With major effects on the surrounding alpine pastures and water bodies (e.g. Glingabrunnen https://www.komoot.de/highlight/858439) For tours over the increasingly rapidly disappearing ice surface, this means correspondingly longer travel times or the routes become impassable.

The thermal water that rises in the Tamina Gorge is routed to the Grand Resort in Bad Ragaz.
