Liechtenstein, Rhine valley, Glarner alps

Oh, how beautiful Eastern Switzerland is. Vaduz Castle at your back, the Rhine Valley at your feet and one of the most beautiful long-distance hiking trails of Switzerland in front of you. The perfect start for a hike along the Via Alpina.

Once you have crossed the Sarganserland, the vineyards give way to high peaks. You cross the Foopass and the Richetlipass and finally reach the Glarnerland. After a challenging hike past the Hausstock, the first section of the Via Alpina ends in the dreamy little village of Linthal.  

Tour Character: Level 3 Moderate

Cozy start, demanding finish. The Via Alpina slowly picks up speed. While at the beginning you are still travelling on easy forest paths, you hike in the Glarnerland on alpine paths. The stages between Weisstannen and Linthal in particular require good basic physical condition and sure-footedness.
