Tips
On the Alvier you have a wonderful view to the west of the Walensee, to the north into the Rhine valley to Lake Constance and to the southeast into the Rhine valley up to Prättigau - in between to the mountains of the cantons of Appenzell, St. Gallen, Glarus and Graubünden as well as the peaks of Liechtenstein and Vorarlberg. Simply wonderful 😍😍😍. And the broad back of the Alvier and also the Alvier hut invites you to linger and enjoy.
Ascent, for example, descent options to the Alvier:
- Through the southern flank of Palfris via Chemmi. (T3 with safety ropes)
- Over the northwest slope from Buchser-Malbun via Alp Malschüel. (T3)
- Coming over the northeast ridge via Barbieler Grat from Malschüel, the Schaner-Alp or the Alp-Arin. (T2)translated by
