Tour description

A challenging high-mountain stage through the Rätikon, taking you from the Carschina Hut over the Sulzfluh to the Tilisuna Hut.

This stage winds through the Rätikon’s impressive limestone landscape and runs directly beneath the majestic Sulzfluh. Rugged rock formations and bright limestone outcrops characterize the high-alpine landscape, making the hike a truly special mountain experience.

The ascent through the Gemschtobel and over the Sulzfluh combines an alpine challenge with breathtaking views. As you continue on your way to the Tilisuna Hut, the striking limestone formations of the Rätikon accompany you.

What is the Montafon Alpine Mosaic?

The Alpenmosaik Montafon brings the region’s scenic diversity to life. The four exploration areas—Verwall, Silvretta, Rätikon, and the valley—offer different perspectives on nature, the landscape, and culture.

Directions
From the Carschinahütte, first follow the signs toward Partnun until you reach the trailhead for the Gemschtobel. There, you’ll encounter a short climbing section secured with a steel chain. Afterward, ascend through the Gemschtobel toward Sulzfluh. This section can get very hot, especially on warm days, so be sure to bring plenty of drinking water.

Just below the Sulzfluh, you’ll leave the Gemschtobel and continue ascending to the summit. After a break, the trail leads you across the light-colored limestone slopes of the Sulzfluh toward the Tilisuna Hut.

Important Information

Alpine Trail: The trail may include safety ropes and handholds. The short climbing section in Gemschtobel is secured with a steel chain. Surefootedness and a head for heights are absolutely essential here.

For this hike, we recommend sturdy, ankle-high hiking boots with good traction, plenty of food and drinking water, and weather-appropriate clothing. Hiking poles can help you on the ascents and descents.

Be sure to bring plenty of drinking water, especially for the climb through the Gemschtobel, as it can get very hot there when the sun is out.

Due to high demand at the huts, we recommend that you reserve sleeping accommodations early directly with the respective huts.
