Höhenprofil
A varied high mountain route in the Rätikon. With a breathtaking view, it goes over several passes to the Lünersee.
A route for mountain lovers who appreciate the natural beauty of the mountains as much as well-maintained regional cuisine. The hiking trails lead through the varied Rätikon. The limestone rock of the Rätikon in contrast to the blooming alpine meadows on the steep walls of the impressive peaks Sulzfluh, Drei Türme, and Drusenfluh characterizes this hut-to-hut hiking. Passing by the Lünersee you can experience hydropower up close, and with an overnight stay in Switzerland, you get to know the Prättigau.
Important: For this demanding route, you should plan your daily stages personally and reserve overnight stays in huts in advance!
