The path to the Stüdl Hut above the Lucknerhaus, with Grossglockner ahead (Hohe Tauern, Route 98)

1 RÄTIKON ALPS

Carrying the borders of Liechtenstein and Switzerland southwest of the Montafon valley, this small group of limestone mountains provides an attractive backdrop to a variety of walks. Although several peaks remain the preserve of rock climbers, a few summits such as the 2818m Sulzfluh, and the Rätikon’s highest – the Schesaplana (2965m), attract experienced mountain walkers and scramblers and reward with extensive panoramic views.
