Light Ragaz is an absolute highlight at any time of day. If you visit the light spectacle early in the evening (between 5 and 8 p.m.), the structures of the rock faces will reveal themselves to you in their full glory. As the gorge is closed almost to the top, the incidence of light is very low and the light projections are already wonderfully visible from 5 pm. But of course the effect and the contrast increases the darker it gets outside. However, the rock structures and the surroundings of the gorge are then no longer so visible and the sea of lights dominates. So it all depends on what you like better.
Light Ragaz takes place in all weathers. We constantly check the weather forecasts and are in constant contact with the authorities. The event will only take place if we can guarantee the safety of our guests at all times. Appropriate equipment (good shoes, rain jacket) is required.
Should the staging of Light Ragaz be endangered or the event be cancelled, ticket buyers will be contacted by e-mail if possible. In the event of cancellation at short notice, information will be provided on site. In the event of a cancellation, ticket buyers will receive a voucher to the value of the booked ticket.
