Fürstensteig is one of the most famous hiking trails
The Fürstensteig is one of the most famous hiking trails in the Rätikon and is the high-altitude classic in Liechtenstein. A first-class circular hike full of contrasts and surprises awaits you.
The hike begins on the panoramic Alp Gaflei 1400 meters above sea level. In green alpine pastures and past Legföhren, the path with a unique view steadily increases in height. The Fürstensteig is a very special experience. Exposed passages are secured with wire ropes and railings. At the Gafleisattel we see the Three Sisters in the distance. But below the Alpspitz-Schrofen we go steeply up in a saddle below the Helwangspitz to the chimney, also signposted as «Chemi».
From the chimney the path leads past Legföhren then down to Bärgälla-Alp and Bärgälla-Sattel, where the view encompasses the entire Liechtenstein Alps with their valleys and peaks. Now it is only a short distance to the Gaflei starting point.

Sharply along the slope edge, which leads along a deep abyss on the side, the Fürstensteig winds through the rugged rock of the mountains. Wonderful to walk with, with magnificent views of the Alps and the Rhine valley below. Appealing and demanding to walk.

Fürstensteig-Three Sisters (opened in 1898)
The Drei-Schwestern-Weg with the Fürstensteig can be described as the classic mountain tour par excellence. You will never forget the tour for sure-footed hikers between the secured rock climbs.
The Fürstensteig and the Drei-Schwestern-Steig (opened in 1898) are bold and magnificently designed mountain climbs, which are connected by a beautiful ridge path with great views. The Kuhgrat, the highest point of this varied mountain hike, offers an excellent view of the Rätikon and the Swiss and Vorarlberg mountains. Also unforgettable are the views down to the villages along the Rhine to Lake Constance and the magnificent debris flora.
