    The Furkla high-altitude hiking trail offers a magnificent view of the Rätikon mountains with the Schesaplana and the Zimba. The 10 kilometres take you leisurely uphill and downhill to Furkla Alpe and back again from there.

    From the mountain station of the Panorama cable car, the winter hiking trail leads gently uphill to the Parpfienzsattel. From there with a slight downward slope and slight upward slope via the high trail to the Furkla Alpe. Return via the same path.

    Additional 20-minute walk from the Furkla Alpe to the Garsellijoch viewpoint - fabulous views of the surrounding mountains.
