The Prättigauer Höhenweg

The Prättigauer Höhenweg is a medium-grade multi-day route that works its way along the south flank of the Silvretta and Rätikon mountains between Klosters and Landquart. Signed with the number 72, the route is described in this guide from its official starting point of Klosters Platz as far as Seewis, a village overlooking the Prättigau valley into which a bus descends to the railway station at Grüsch, a short distance from Landquart. This very fine trek is demanding in places, but it rewards with numerous memorable views, especially of the abrupt walls of the Rätikon mountains.

The Rätikon Höhenweg

The Rätikon Höhenweg Nord runs along the Austrian flank of the mountains, while a roughly parallel route known as the Rätikon Höhenweg Sud takes a similar course on the Swiss flank. For much of the way the two routes are never far apart, but are separated by a crest of frontier mountains. By linking them at either end of the range, a first class hut-to-hut circuit can be achieved.
