Tamina Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
The largest arch bridge in Switzerland
The Tamina Bridge connects the two villages of Pfäfers and Valens at the entrance to the Tamina Valley. The bridge arches impressively over the deep Tamina Gorge, where the famous 36.5° thermal water arises. With a span of 260 meters and a length of 475 meters, the Tamina Bridge is the largest arch bridge in Switzerland and one of the largest of its kind in Europe.
Find out more on a 1-hour tour (CHF 150.00) including a short presentation with lots of pictures from the construction period.

Mapraggsee
Highlight • Lake
The Mapraggsee is located in the Tamina valley at an altitude of 865 meters above sea level. Located in the St. Gallen municipality of Pfäfers, the Mapragg reservoir is operated by the Sarganserwald power plants, just like the Gigerwaldsee upstream. In addition to the Tamina, which also flows out of the reservoir, the Mapraggsee is fed by the Bschissnenbach, the Läuibach and various other streams.
The Mapragg reservoir is located in the middle between the villages of Vättis and Pfäfers. This stretch is also covered by a post bus service. On the east side of the Mapraggsee, a road runs slightly above the shore.
