We are delighted that you have decided to embark on this adventure, start from Klosters and have fun on the trail of the smugglers!
Take on the challenge of the Madrisa round tour - a sporty, demanding and breathtaking hike! This extraordinary pass hike takes you through the impressive Madrisa massif at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, crossing international borders. Where smugglers once traveled, well-maintained trails now offer you an unforgettable nature experience.
Your adventure begins at the Madrisaland mountain station above the Swiss monastery. From there, you hike over the Schlappinerjoch to Gargellen in Austria. Take the mountain railroad to the Schafberg and continue your hike over the Gafierjoch and Rätschenjoch before returning to Madrisaland and finally taking the train back to Klosters.
This one-day tour requires fitness and athletic commitment, but rewards you with breathtaking views. The seven-hour high-alpine hike will probably push you to your limits - which is why we recommend experiencing the Madrisa round tour with an experienced mountain guide. They will tell you fascinating stories from the time of the muleteers and smugglers and make your adventure even more unforgettable.
