Schesaplana circular tour

Seemingly insurmountable, the rock bar towers above the Schesaplana Hut. But the Swiss Way leads safely and directly to the summit. First it goes over steep lawns up to the rock ledge, where the white and blue markings show the way through the Schrofen steps. A few chains and a small ladder provide additional support in the crux (T4), but surefootedness is a must. The Steimandli (cairns) mark the route eastwards through the large scree field. From the Schesaplana saddle it now goes steeply northwards up the last meter of altitude to the summit - the view is worth the effort. Back in the saddle, you cross the national border. Over rock ledges and schrfen-like terrain, the path runs eastwards to the Gamslugge. After a last look at the Lünersee, the route descends steeply, secured with a few chains, into the Vals valley. Along the Prättigauer Höhenweg you quickly get back to the Schesaplanahütte. Here you can review the tour with coffee and fine cake and enjoy the magnificent panorama.

It is recommended to plan this route as a 2-day tour - the day before leisurely up to the Schesaplana hut. So you start the alpine hike rested and freshly strengthened.

If you like it fast, you can whiz back to Seewis on a scooter .
