From here you have a beautiful view of the Valüna valley. Climbing up the ridge from here is also worthwhile, because from there you can also see the Rhine Valley and the Valüna Valley.

The footbridge and the Valüna are always worth a trip.

Alpelti (Älple)
Alp in the upper Saminatal, municipality of Triesenberg, 1460–1993 m above sea level, 122.3 ha, of which 34 ha are productive pastureland. Borders on the Alp Sücka (Triesenberg) to the north, the Valüna to the east, the Wang (both Triesen) to the west and Gapfahl (Balzers) to the south. The name is the Walser diminutive of "Alp". Also called Drasgimiel in documents (possibly related to the Romansh dros for alpine alder) and Gasnerälpli in the Brandisian Urbar (around 1509/17).
First documented mention in 1403, when the Walser Hensli Gassner from Triesenberg received the Alpelti as a hereditary fief from the neighboring Triesen. In 1665, the Alpelti, which had been converted from a private alp into a Triesenberg community alp in 1562, was bought by the Triesenbergers. The first feudal contract (1403) already stipulated the right to flee to the Valüna when the snow had fallen. The burden of bird milk (9 pounds of lard and 3 cheeses) mentioned in 1509/17 indicates cow grazing and dairy farming. In 1868, 33 cows and 37 cattle were still summered, in 1928 only 74 cattle; in 2004 there were 33 cows without cheese, 3 cattle and 13 calves. In the 1980s, some sheep were also summered. The maximum number of livestock units on today's dry cattle alp is 40 large livestock units. While there were still 14 alpine huts and stables in 1878, after the introduction of the communal dairy in 1888, a common alpine building with stables was built and a drivable road was built. The Alpelti belongs to the Valüna high-altitude hunting area.
