Via Alpina: St. Antönien to Gargellen Map

Leave St. Antönien on the same valley road from which you entered the town. Head towards Litzirüti and turn right into the valley. In the valley, follow the Gafier Stream and then to the Alpeltitäli, where you then start a steep ascent to the St. Antönier Joch Pass. When you reach the pass, you will cross over the border into Austria, and start the last section of the trek, a nice gentle descent through the beautiful high Gargellen Alpine meadows to the town of Gargellen, where you can celebrate finishing the seven-day hike!
