Details
Description
The well-marked path leads from Klosters over lush alpine pastures to St. Antönien, where the slogan "behind the moon, left..." is advertised with a wink. Along the way, you encounter grazing cows enjoying the fine alpine herbs. Below the up to 500 meter high limestone walls, the well-signposted path continues along the national border. At Gafalljoch, you leave the high route and branch off towards Sassauna, where the last altitude meters are "saved" with the Fanas cable car.
The route can be booked as a package and is also suitable as a family route. And with some additional summit ascents, the hike also brings a lasting smile to ambitious mountain hikers' faces.
