Description

It is recommended to undertake the round tour as a two-day tour, with an overnight stay in the SAC Sardona hut. The high-altitude hike from the Sardona hut to the Plattensee and Heitelsee lakes is considered the "hiking highlight" in the Calfeisen valley. Throughout the tour, you have the overwhelming mountain backdrop of the iRingel, Sardona and Gigerwaldspitz peaks before your eyes. The crystal-clear, smaller mountain lakes, Plattensee and Heitelsee, invite you to linger. The flora on the Chratzeri, with its small raised bogs, is lush and unique, especially in early summer. The ridges and mountain peaks along the entire route are ibex territory.

Hidden Gem

The cozy restaurant at Sankt Martin invites you to linger over a drink or a meal.

Safety Note

Special care is required depending on the weather conditions. It can be very slippery in some places, especially when wet.

Equipment

Good hiking equipment, very sturdy mountain boots.
