Thus, they choose between time required, length, altitude, highest point and difficulty. After that, the specific hiking routes are suggested.Under GPS Tours for example, you can find the panoramic path, which leads past the Strelaalp restaurant and further through the uppermost parts of the forest past fir trees and centuries-old larches.On the trail of smugglersAlready centuries ago, a lively trade developed between the valley communities of Montafon and Prättigau. Due to the state border, trade became illegal, thus important goods had to be smuggled. Today, the path across the border is freely passable and offers unique nature experiences and exciting stories. A round trip of about 8 hours length. smugglerland.ch
