Hochjoch Klettersteig - Schruns

The feeling of accomplishment upon reaching the summit cross is immense.

After conquering the Klettersteig, the descent back to the cable car station is straightforward, allowing you to reflect on an unforgettable alpine adventure. It's a superb, relatively short, but intense route that delivers big on views and excitement.
