Three days trail: panorama trailrun from Davos, Klosters into Prättigau (stage 3: St. Antönien - Fanas)

In St. Antönien, the first 600 meters of altitude start on a small road, then on an increasingly narrower alpine path. During the high summer season, these first altitude meters to the Bärgli can be comfortably covered with the Bus alpin. Afterwards, it becomes somewhat flatter and a magnificent panorama opens up onto the Schijenflue. It's worth making a short detour to the Carschinasee before running on a panorama trail to the Carschinahütte SAC. You follow the Prättigau Höhenweg, which winds up and down below the Drusenfluh. The highlight of the route is the crossing into Austria through the Schweizer Tor. A spectacular path leads through a small gap between the rock walls. Then the terrain becomes gentler again, and the trail over the Verajoch offers pure enjoyment for every trailrunner. Before the Lünersee you turn left and pass the border at Cavelljoch. Back on Swiss ground, you meet the Prättigau Höhenweg again, following it to the Golrosa. After a short section on a gravel road, you turn left at Vordersäss onto a partly technical, solitary path. This mostly leads uphill to the Luderer Egg and then crosses the southwest flank of the Sassauna. The last descent to the Eggli is a worthy conclusion to the route.

About the author: 32-year-old Stephan Hugenschmidt is the winner and course record holder of the Eiger Ultra and Zugspitz Ultratrail. Stephan lives in Schiers and knows the trails in Prättigau like the back of his hand. He especially loves that the trails in Prättigau are not overcrowded and that you can spend hours in pristine nature.

From St. Antönien, use the Bus alpin (reservation required) to the "Bärgli" and save yourself 700 meters of altitude!
