Day 1 The tour could begin in either Gargellen or Gaschurn, for the first stage leads to the Tübinger Hut in the upper reaches of the Garneratal. If it is to be added to the Rätikon Höhenweg, the most obvious choice is to head upvalley a short distance from Gargellen, then branch left into the Vergaldatal in order to cross the Vergaldajoch at 2515m. A second ridge is crossed beyond the joch from which the Tübinger Hut can be seen across the head of the Garneratal, and some 300m lower than your vantage point. The way then contours round the lower slopes of the valley’s headwall and on to the Tübinger Hut, which is gained about 4–4½hrs from Gargellen. The alternative and more direct route from Gaschurn is described as Route 8 above.

Day 2 A longer stage than yesterday’s, taking about 7hrs by the main route. This crosses the 2728m Plattenjoch above and southeast of the Tübinger Hut, by way of a crevasse-free glacier, then along the Austro–Swiss border to the Schweizerlücke and another small glacier bordered by the 2750m Mittelrücke above the Saarbrucker Hut. This hut is reached in 3–4hrs. From there an easy valley walk leads to the Bielerhöhe overlooking the Silvretta Stausee, but it should be noted that a more direct route from the Tübinger Hut to the Bielerhöhe crosses the Hochmaderer Joch, and is described in detail as Route 9. Once at the Bielerhöhe, follow directions given in Route 12 as far as the Wiesbadener Hut with its view of Piz Buin and attendant peaks and glaciers.
