Description

This challenging hiking stage starts with a short climb from the Gafadura Hut up to the Saroya Sattel Pass, crossing over the border from Lichtenstein and into Switzerland.

The trail leads you around the Three Sisters Ridge, which demands extra care, and then on through alpine pastures to Garsellikopf, where you’ll get some awesome views of the Reintal Valley.

Carry along onto the Fürstensteig, or “Prince’s Trail,” which is well secured with ropes and bridges.

It's not for the faint-hearted or those who suffer from vertigo! The trail then eases off at the end, taking you through alpine meadows to Sücka, where you’ll rest for the night.

The whole of the trail is well marked with red-white-red signposts, in case you need an extra pointer in the right direction!
