Now that would make a great fortnight’s holiday (plus two days for travel)!

Hut-to-hut routes

The route to the Schlappiner Joch is well signed (Hut-to-Hut, Route 4)

The three treks described above represent the best multi-day walking routes in the Silvretta and Rätikon Alps. But a glance at a map of the region will reveal numerous possibilities for creating shorter hut-to-hut tours and pass crossings. In fact when it comes to walkers’ passes, the Silvretta/Rätikon district must be one of the richest for its size in the whole Alpine range. The 12 outline routes, working from east to west, described in the fourth section of this book, represent a small sample of what is possible.

Wildlife and flowers

No summer trek in the Alps would be complete without the sighting of wildlife, while the flowers that adorn both meadow and rock face add their own undeniable beauty. The Silvretta and Rätikon Alps are not short of either.

Alpine animals

Marmots may be seen in many Silvretta and Rätikon valleys
