Madrisa circular route stage 2 - in 2 days from Switzerland to Austria and back!

Day 2 From Gargellen you hike to Vergalden, then valley inward through the Valzifenztal to the upper Valzifenzalp. Then quite steeply up to the Schlappiner Joch where you cross the national border. From here an effortless and scenic high-altitude hike leads over Schwarz Bach and Älpli to the Zügenhüttli and to the Saaser Alp. Descent by the Madrisa cable car to Klosters.

Can also be booked as a package “On Smuggler’s Paths”. During the smuggler’s route, a series of tasks must be completed, just as real smugglers did. Nine depots with smuggler goods and a customs hut are to be found, nowadays of course using GPS. The hiding places contain, besides smuggled goods and information about them, also anecdotes from the smugglers' lives. They also provide “life-saving” hints, namely GPS data that lead to the next depot and thus to the end of the smuggler’s route. More information: www.schmugglerland.com
