Montafoner Silvrettarunde ​|​ Tübinger Hütte to Silvrettahütte SAC ​(​CH​)​

Description

The path over the alpine pass Plattenjoch leads into Switzerland and is a real border experience. After a barren rocky environment on the northern side of the mountain ridge, you will find on the southern side a high alpine landscape covered with moss and meadows. Individual turquoise mountain lakes are the last traces left by the retreating glaciers here.

Important: For this demanding route, you should plan your personal daily stages and reserve overnight stays at the huts in advance!
