Looking for an authentic alpine trek off the beaten path? The Prättigauer Höhenweg is one of Switzerland’s best-kept secrets. This high route traverses the canton of Graubünden, following the Rätikon range right along the Austrian border. It’s the perfect trek for hikers seeking solitude, nature, and cozy mountain huts without the crowds.
The Prättigauer Höhenweg offers moderately challenging stages across remote plateaus, limestone cliffs, and panoramic valleys. From the famous Schesaplana to the rugged Sulzfluh, this route is a quiet ode to the raw beauty of Eastern Switzerland. It’s an ideal alternative to more crowded routes like the Via Alpina or the Tour du Mont Blanc.
