Fürstensteig Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

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.

Kuhgrat Summit

Highlight • Summit

On the Kuhgrat you can enjoy a wonderful view, really very nice and recommendable! The Kuhgrat summit is part of various long-distance hiking trails (of varying difficulty) and therefore there are often a lot of people up there.

They are all mountain hiking trails that lead to the summit, so you should be sure-footed and have a head for heights.

Garsellikopf

Highlight • Summit

The Garsellikopf is the second summit of the Three Sisters Chain, marking the border between Liechtenstein and Austria. Up and down it goes over an alpine trail (difficulty T3 / white-red-white).

Three Sisters

Highlight • Summit

The named after a legend 3 sisters are 3 conspicuous, connected peaks in the Upper Rhine Valley, which are visible in good weather already from Lake Constance - 40 to 50 km as the crow flies and from the valley!

The whole mountain is made up of showy, rough and rugged rock that gives the mountain its distinctive appearance. Due to its exposed position in the valley, the summit - as mentioned - is already visible from afar and offers a wonderful panorama from Liechtenstein to Germany.

Attention: I have no idea why, but the main peak - the big sister - has no summit cross, but only a small landmark. (The summit is located exactly on the border between Liechtenstein and Austria)
So if you already go down to the summit crosses, missed the main summit and should turn around, because the middle and little sister can only be reached with free-climbing ;-)

September 5, 2021,05.09.21 Fürstensteig, Drei Schwestern & Alpspitz 👍 coole Wege und super Aussichten😄😍😍😍

The path via the Drei Schwestern is a blue / white marked path, but the other paths also require a head for heights

The start was from the Gaflei car park and first leads over the impressive path, the Fürstensteig, as if carved into the rock.

June 30, 2026,30.06.26 Fürstensteig - Drei Schwestern - Helwangspitz - Alpspitz 👍 Coole Wege und traumhafte Aussichten 😍

It started over the Fürstensteig: a path as if carved into the rock... and that's exactly what it is 😂. Every year, an enormous amount of work goes into making it passable again after the winter. Loose rocks are removed or replenished in some places, small bridges are repaired, and in some sections, concrete even ensures that the crumbly ground …

Today we went from the Gaflei car park over the Fürstensteig to the Three Sisters. The parking lot is free and a shuttle bus commutes between the two entry and exit points (Gaflei-Planken), which can be used for CHF 3.50.

October 5, 2023,Fürstensteig – Drei Schwestern Runde von Gaflei 🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮

Liechtenstein is very small and therefore only has a few hikes. The Fürstensteig or Kuhgrat is an absolute highlight. However, for this you really need sure-footedness and a head for heights. Many places are exposed and a few peaks are over 2000 meters high. The views are amazing and the climb is just fun because of the challenging climbing sections. …
