Schanfigger Höhenweg, 6th stage, Hochwang - Chur

This section of the route is the "wildest" of the long-distance hike. Although beautiful traditional Maiensäss such as Lafet and Balnettis are passed and mountain meadows are crossed, one is often in wild gorges. The path here is little frequented and is not part of alpine access roads as on other sections. It is all the more astonishing when you suddenly meet farmers who are haymaking again. The meadows are very high and steep, and access from the valley runs over extremely steep roads, which are now replaced by the—of course sensible—improvement roads.
