Hiking across the Alps

From the Allgäu to the South Tirol.
Overview

Our route from southern Bavaria through Austria and Switzerland into Italy has become our most popular hutting holiday, and with good reason. We are following in a long tradition of great trans-alpine journeys, with 3000m peaks, high passes and gorges. 

From Oberstdorf we head towards the quiet and beautiful Kaisertal and cross the Lechtal Alps to St Anton. Then we climb through the Verwall Mountains and cross the Kappeler Joch before descending to the Paznautal for an overnight stay in Ischgl

From there we cross into Switzerland to the atmospheric Heidelberger Hütte, then continue over the Fimber Pass at 2608m and descend to the spectacular scenery of the Swiss Engadine. 

At the Sesvenna hut in Italy, a free day allows us to climb the Rasass Peak (2941m) from where there are views over three countries, before descending to Mals in Italy.
