Prättigauer Höhenweg

Today's stage starts in Klosters and plunges you straight into the natural beauty of the Graubünden region. To begin your trek, take the Madrisabahn cable car, a smooth ride that lifts you right into alpine territory. From the top station, the route starts with a steady climb through alpine pastures and woodlands, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountain peaks. You will reach several panoramic viewpoints along the way, offering perfect opportunities to rest or take photos of the Graubünden mountains.

The route then continues along grassy ridges beneath summits such as the Jagglisch Horn (2,290 m) and the Nolla (2,370 m), before descending gently to the tranquil village of St. Antönien. You will pass through the Ascharina Alp, where you can hire a trottinette for a fun-filled final stretch. With its moderate elevation changes and well-maintained paths, this stage offers a gentle yet rewarding introduction to the Prättigauer Höhenweg.

The trail begins in the peaceful village of St. Antönien and winds steadily upwards through increasingly wild and alpine terrain. The trail winds its way up through pastures and wooded slopes, eventually offering expansive vistas of the Rätikon mountain range. As you climb higher, keep an eye out for grazing cows and marmots.

Once you are above the tree line, the scenery becomes truly dramatic. The trail passes the 2,412-metre-high Chüenihorn and the beautiful Carschinasee, a small alpine lake nestled beneath towering limestone peaks. Your destination, the Carschina Hütte, is just above. This cosy, remote hut is perfectly positioned for sunset views of the Schesaplana and Sulzfluh peaks. It's a fitting end to a memorable stage!
