  • Höhenprofil

    Mountain tour with fabulous panoramic views of the Lechquellen mountains with Fensterlewand and Roter Wand, the Verwall and far into the Silvretta.

    From the bus stop the footpath leads over the “Felsensteig” to the Freiburger Hütte. From the Freiburger Hütte the path leads eastwards to the junction “Saladinaspitze”. From here, the trail leads south through a green high valley to a small yoke with two large cairns. After a short descent, a large boulder field must be crossed, then the path leads again on grass with some height loss to the NW flank of the Saladinaspitze, through this to the SW ridge and on this to the summit. Return on the ascent path back to the mentioned nameless yoke. From there the same path leads back to the Freiburger Hütte or to the bus stop “Formarin”.

    Fabulous panoramic view of the Lechquelle mountains, the Verwall, the Rätikon and into the Silvretta!
