Tour description

From Brand, the trail leads briefly out of the valley and then branches off into the Sarotla Valley and leads up to the Sarotla Hütte, which lies at the foot of the Zimba. You continue via the Zimbajoch to the Heinrich-Hueter Hütte, your first overnight stop.

On the second day, you descend to the Alpengasthof Rellstal and from there on to the Zaluanda Alpe. Via the Hätaberger Joch and the Latschätz Alpe to the Lindauer Hütte, where the second overnight stop is planned.

The next day, hike over the Öfapass to the Schweizertor, a striking window and border crossing into Prättigau/CH. From here you continue over the Verajoch towards Lünersee.
