Pardiel
Description
From Bad Ragaz, you climb quite gently up a paved mountain road to Pardiel Unter-, Mittel- and finally Obersäss, the middle station of the Pizol mountain railroad. An attractive single trail to the Vilterser Alp begins here. From Untersäss, you have to climb a lot of altitude meters on an alpine road to Vilterser Berg, from where a flowing and easy-to-ride singletrail finally leads to the village of Vilters. You return to Bad Ragaz along the edge of the forest via forest paths and single trails.

Cool tour with great views of the St. Gallen Rhine Valley. After Palfries, pushing is the order of the day due to a cycling ban. The downhill can be made more exciting with additional single trails.
We wanted to ride this tour yesterday...unfortunately we were faced with a no biking sign for the second time (similar to Palfries).
As Sabine writes, the descent is a heath trail, i.e. a family hiking trail. Too bad....the tour cannot be ridden as described above, alternatively a varied trail towards Wildboden - Bad Ragaz.
All in all a boring tour. At the top, the trail is now called "Heidiweg", is freshly gravelled and closed to mountain bikers. In the middle of the school vacations, you pass 4 hikers before you get onto the actual trail. S3, so for most people it's more about pushing than biking, then it gets steep, the path is trampled by cows and has plenty of loose stones. As mentioned, there is then a longer section on asphalt before you come back onto a wide hiking trail, which is not quite a trail, but not quite a forest road either. It wasn't worth it for me.
