Sankt Martin, a charming Walser settlement

Posted on July 15, 2018 by wandererya

This is our first visit to the Calfeisental (Calfeisen Valley), a very isolated, narrow yet beautiful valley behind Bad Ragaz, which Philippe had never heard of neither.

The drive to Sankt Martin is already kind of an adventure. The only road is so narrow that it can only be used in one direction at a time. The first 20 minutes of every hour upwards, 10 minutes of buffer time, then 20 minutes the other way.

We loved the charming hotel-restaurant Sankt Martin because we could feel that someone really cares about this place! The soup and risotto we had were very tasty.

Sankt Martin is another surprising discovery in a region so close to our home.
