Details

Description

From the mountain hut, the Arflinafurgga is targeted, the ridge between Prättigau and Schanfigg. Up here, you not only have a beautiful view but also the certainty that more than half of the altitude gain is behind you. More or less along the ridge, you go up to the Glattwang, which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Rhine Valley, the Churfirsten, and last but not least the border range to Montafon, the Rätikon. In the adjacent Varnezatobel, thanks to the wildlife protection area, many deer can often be observed.


After the summit experience, you return leisurely towards the mountain hut in the Heuberge, which you can already see from afar.

Insider tips

Take the shuttle bus up to the Heuberge, then you can ride down again on a kick scooter or a bikeboard!

Safety notice

Good sure-footedness. Average orientation skills. Basic alpine experience.

Equipment

Good trekking shoes, it's easier with poles, a small backpack with a drinking bottle, and a small snack. A Swiss pocket knife is always useful.
