    This scenic Montafon hut hike through the varied Rätikon takes you past the steep limestone mountains of the Rätikon.

    A route for mountain lovers who appreciate the natural beauty of the mountains as well as refined 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 shape the character of this hut hike.

    Due to high demand at the huts, you should plan your route in advance and book overnight stays at the huts early.
