A Landmark Experience in the Rätikon Alps
Discovering the Three Sisters and Alpspitz Panorama Trail
The Three Sisters (Drei Schwestern) and the Alpspitz Panorama Trail are iconic highlights along the Austria-Liechtenstein trek with Salamander Adventures. These landmarks, nestled in the Rätikon Alps, offer hikers a blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and alpine adventure. From their dramatic peaks to historic trails, these features embody the essence of trekking through this region.
Exploring the Features of the Three Sisters and Alpspitz Panorama Trail
The Three Sisters, a trio of peaks straddling Austria and Liechtenstein, are part of the renowned Liechtenstein Panorama Trail. Ranging from 2,034 to 2,053 metres in height, they present a striking backdrop for alpine hikes. Historically, these peaks were first ascended in 1870, and their dramatic ridges host segments of the Fürstensteig and Drei-Schwestern-Steig, featuring secured paths and ladders. Nearby, the Alpspitz summit, at 1,943 metres, offers a slightly lower but equally scenic viewpoint, marked by Liechtenstein’s first summit cross erected in 1944.
The Alpspitz Panorama Trail extends through lush meadows and rocky terrain, with panoramic views of the Alps. This well-signposted route forms part of the Liechtenstein Panorama Trail, covering 42 kilometres over three to four days.
Experiencing the Trail as a Trekker
Trekkers navigating this route pass through mixed alpine forests and exposed mountain paths. Highlights include the narrow, cable-secured ledges of the Fürstensteig and expansive views from the Three Sisters ridge. The trail also provides access to charming mountain huts such as the Gafadura Hut, where hikers can rest overnight.
