The third stage of the Prättigauer Höhenweg leads along the Rätikon chain and is often described as the most beautiful section of the long-distance hike.
Details
Description
Note for summer 2025: Due to renovation work in the Carschinahütte SAC, overnight stays are currently not possible there.
Well-developed and popular high route with constantly changing views into the Prättigau valley below. The path first leads gently past the Drei Türme and the mighty Drusenfluh. Then the long-distance trail descends slightly to the Schweizertor. Along the Kirchlispitzen, the path climbs again. At the Cavelljoch you stand directly at the Austrian border and enjoy a beautiful view of the Lünersee. The end of this stage descends over meadows to the Schesaplanahütte SAC.
