Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Like most high mountain tours, the Dreiländertour is also demanding, it requires experience, good endurance, surefootedness and appropriate equipment. But let go of the daily hustle and bustle and fully concentrate on the elementary things, this scenic, multi-faceted mountain tour will be an unforgettable experience.
The huts are open from mid-June to the end of September, depending on the conditions. But even in high summer, snowfall or the onset of cold weather can turn a supposedly easy mountain tour into a challenge. Everyone who wants to tackle the tour should inform themselves in advance and of course on the way with the hut hosts exactly about the weather situation.
