During this three-country route, the national border plays an important role. On some days, you are even on the border several times a day. The route begins at the edge of the Silvretta mountain range and then follows the main ridge of the Swiss-Austrian Rätikon. The finale is on the border with Liechtenstein.
The Rätikon rises with steep limestone walls from green grassy slopes and scree fields. The highest peak in the area is the Schesaplana (2964m), with a small glacier on the north side. The bizarre limestone formations of the Sulzfluh resemble a lunar landscape. If all goes well, we will climb both peaks. On clear days, you have a view to the Bernina massif, about 80 km as the crow flies. There is a high chance we will encounter groups of chamois along the way. Although much of the route runs on beaten paths, we will undoubtedly cross small snowfields and the route includes a few difficult passages secured with cables.
Note: This route has been offered in the past by the NKBV. Due to possible changing conditions, you are always responsible for checking the current route conditions. Get information from the local tourist office or experts of the region to go safe and prepared.
