THE JOURNEY IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE BEST HOSTEL.

(Miguel de Cervantes, Spanish author)

Rent via ferrata set & poles

In the valley, at medium altitudes or high up on the summits. The marked hiking trails in the cross-border two-country region have something to offer for all types of hikers: From a leisurely loop to a sporty mountain tour.

Climbing enthusiasts can enjoy via ferratas of various levels of difficulty. You can also get a taste of climbing with a guided tour organised by the Kleinwalsertal Mountain School.
