Voralpsee Ost rot
The route circles through alpine meadows and past highland bogs (Hochmoore), with views stretching across the Toggenburg and down into the Rhine Valley. At its heart lies the Voralpsee, an idyllic mountain lake ringed by gentle pastures and forest, with swimming spots and fire-grill huts on its shores.

Margelchopf-Gipfelweg
The route climbs from the Malbun mountain restaurant through forest and alpine pastures, passing clusters of small mountain lakes where the Alpstein and Rhine Valley reflect in still water, before a hands-and-feet scramble up a stony peak with a pronounced north-facing rock face. From the grassy high plateau of Margelchopf — Grabs' local mountain — the view stretches across the St. Gallen Rhine Valley as far as Lake Constance, with Lake Voralp waiting at the trail's end.
