Details

Description

Well-developed and popular high-altitude trail with ever-changing insights and views into the Prättigau. The path first leads comfortably past the Three Towers and the mighty Drusenfluh. Then the long-distance hike leads a little downhill to the Schweizertor. Along the Kirchlispitzen the path rises again into the heights. On the Cavelljoch you stand directly on the Austrian border and enjoy a beautiful view of the Lünersee. The conclusion of this stage leads downhill over meadows to the Schesaplanahütte SAC.
