Description

The hike begins at the Gängle lake reservoir in Steg and leads first into the romantic Valüna Valley. At the Alp Valüna  hikers can take a break before the path becomes steeper. A quarter of an hour from the point in Obersäss where several trails intersect, our route joins the Liechtenstein Panorama Trail. The path runs parallel to the Via Alpina trail through the Naaf Valley, which is rich in plants and surrounded by scree slopes, and then reaches the Pfälzer hut. Hikers who opt to stay the night there should take on the approximately one-hour climb to the top of the Naafkopf mountain the following morning and enjoy an unforgettable sunrise. The borders of Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein meet on this mountain. With a bit of luck you will also see ibexes. Return to the Pfälzer hut and then head down to Alp Gritsch. From there, the hiking trail winds its way down in a series of switchback corners through the steep slopes of Retta to Alp Valüna and the Gängle lake.
