Schanfigg High Route, 6th stage, Hochwang - Chur

This section of the route is the “wildest” part of the long-distance hike. Although beautiful, traditional mountain pastures Lafet and Balnettis are passed and you walk past alpine meadows, you are often in wild gorges. The path here is little used and is not part of alpine access roads like in other sections. It is all the more astonishing when you suddenly meet farmers who are haymaking. The meadows are very high and steeply located, and the access from the valley also leads over extremely steep roads, which are now being replaced by – naturally sensible – land improvement roads.
