Wildmannli Bike: St. Gallen–Sargans

A big east‑Swiss ride linking the abbey city of St. Gallen with Sargans at the edge of the Rhine valley. It’s long and punchy—around 119 km with roughly 5,500 m of climbing—so expect a full, demanding day. Terrain is a mix of quiet backroads and farm tracks with plenty of gravel; only short stretches land on busy roads.

You’ll roll past meadows, forested hills, and rugged foothills before dropping toward Sargans. It suits a gravel bike or hardtail with low gears and good brakes. Aim for snow‑free months for the best surfaces and views. Both ends have easy train connections, which keeps logistics simple.

If you like big climbs, varied surfaces, and classic eastern Switzerland scenery, this one delivers.
