Description

The Madrisa circuit starts in Klosters-Dorf. From there, take the gondola to Madrisa, the Schaffürggli chairlift, and the Madrisa button lift to reach around 2500 m. From the Madrisa ski area, cross eastward to Schlappinerjoch (2201 m) and then descend northwards into the Valzifenztal. Through this valley, you reach Gargellen (1420 m) in Montafon (Austria). Using a chairlift (Schafbergbahn) and ski lift (Kristallbahn), you ascend again to 2200 m. A short northward descent along the valley run to Gargellen is followed by about a 45-minute ascent to St. Antönier Joch.

A wonderful descent through Alpeltitälli to St. Antönien completes the Madrisa circuit. What is a magnificent 3-day route in summer can be easily experienced in one day in winter.

After a well-deserved break in one of the cozy restaurants in St. Antönien, post buses take you to Küblis, where you can return by Rhaetian Railway to Klosters-Dorf.

Hidden Gem

Round-trip tickets available online here or directly at the valley station of the Madrisa cable cars in Klosters.

City Prättigau

Mountaineering village St. Antönien

St. Antönien offers a stage for mountaineers, peace seekers and nature lovers in all seasons and nature lovers and nature-oriented tourism has a long tradition here. These are two of the reasons why St. Antönien is the first mountaineering village in Switzerland.

Being a mountaineering village is an award for the tireless commitment of the St. Antönier to a careful handling of nature, to a dynamic village with lived traditions and to an active social life. At the same time, it is a commitment to continue to take care of these values – so that St. Antönien remains livable and lovable.
