Description

A tour where you cross the border into Switzerland twice.

Grandiose panoramic views, an interesting geological and plant diversity, but also historical paths in the border area between Austria and Switzerland. The Madrisa round trip is usually recommended and offered as a two-day tour with overnight stay in Madrisaland (CH). Sporty, demanding, breathtaking - there are many descriptions that characterize the Madrisa tour.

The Rätikon pass hike from Gargellen around the striking massif of the Madrisa is, however, in the truest sense of the word above all one thing: a special kind of borderline experience.

Where all sorts of smugglers and mule skinners used to hang around and try to lead the customs officers around by the nose, there are now paths that are easy to walk through the mountain landscape in the Rätikon.

Those who cross international borders at over 2,000 metres and sound out their own borders know what is meant: the Madrisa round tour on continuously marked alpine paths rewards with unique impressions, but also challenges fitness and sportiness.

During seven hours of hiking in high alpine scenery some people had to go to their own limits.

Therefore the Madrisa round tour should be made with a mountain guide from Montafon.

In 1972, local mountain lovers from Gargellen and Klosters recognised the charm and potential of this round trip.

Today hikers follow in the footsteps of the mule skinners and smugglers who used to trade over these passes.

There's no better way to follow in the footsteps of the past today.

A breathtaking nature experience with an abundance of fantastic views.

The Madrisa Tour brings cross-border trade to life.

However, instead of smuggled goods you take home wonderful impressions today. *Note* : Please note that this tour requires a valid travel document. equipment As there are no managed huts on the tour, sufficient food should be taken with you.

Hiking poles and headgear (on hot days) recommended.
