Seilbahn Palfries

Hoch über dem Heidiland liegt die sonnenverwöhnte Hochebene Palfries, ein wahres Juwel für alle, die die Natur lieben. Mit der Seilbahn Palfries, die in nur 12 Minuten rund 1200 Höhenmeter überwindet, erreichst du mühelos dieses Bergparadies. Die 1941 als Militärseilbahn gebaute Bahn wurde 2016 für den Tourismus eröffnet und bietet während der Fahrt spektakuläre Ausblicke, darunter über die Wasserfälle des Ragnatscher Bachs.

Ob Familien, Wanderer oder Trailrunner – auf der Hochebene Palfries gibt es für jedes Niveau das passende Erlebnis. Von gemütlichen Spaziergängen bis zu anspruchsvollen Bergtouren, wie zur Gipfelhütte Alvier mit einer atemberaubenden Panoramasicht auf den Walensee, das Rheintal und die Glarner Alpen.

Erfrischende Abkühlung bieten der Badeteich und die Kneippanlage auf der Sennis-Alp. Zahlreiche Picknickplätze und Feuerstellen laden zum Verweilen ein. Ein kulturelles Highlight ist das 600 Jahre alte Walserhaus mit einem kleinen Museum, das spannende Einblicke in die Traditionen der Walser bietet.

Die fünf Berggasthäuser auf der Hochebene verwöhnen Gäste mit regionalen Spezialitäten und bieten dabei ein Panorama, das zum Verweilen einlädt. Egal, ob du eine kurze Auszeit suchst oder einen ganzen Tag in der Natur verbringen möchtest – die Hochebene Palfries hält unvergessliche Erlebnisse bereit.
