The climb up to the valley from Bad Ragaz is quite challenging and occasionally busy with cars on the hairpins, once you reach the village of Pfäfers, it settles down. The view of the Taminabrücke is impressive and worth the effort. The road undulates through the trees, past the dam till the village of Vättis wher eozu can stop for toilets :) before climbing up to the top of the next dam for a spectacular view. Continue on watchout out for oncoming traffic - the road is. single track through tunnels with water dripping down, so dark and slippy - to the end where you can get refreshments at cafes or just sit and admire the view.
