Description

The Madrisa round trip starts in Klosters-Dorf. From there, the gondola lift to Madrisa, the Schaffürggli chairlift and the Madrisa T-bar lift are used to reach around 2500 m. From the Madrisa ski area, cross eastwards to the Schlappinerjoch (2201 m) and then descend northwards into the Valzifenz Valley. Through this valley you reach Gargellen (1420 m) in the Montafon (Austria). The chairlift (Schafbergbahn) and ski lift (Kristallbahn) take you back to an altitude of 2200 m. A short descent northwards along the valley run to Gargellen is followed by an approximately 45-minute ascent to the St. Antönier Joch.

A wonderful descent through the Alpeltitälli to St. Antönien concludes the Madrisa round trip. What is a fantastic 3-day tour in summer can easily be experienced in one day in winter.

After a well-deserved break in one of the cosy restaurants in St. Antönien, post buses drive to Küblis. There you can take the Rhaetian Railway back to Klosters-Dorf.

Geheimtipp

Round trip tickets are available online here or directly at the valley station of the Madrisa mountain railways in Klosters.

Mountaineering village St. Antönien

St. Antönien offers a stage for mountaineers, peace seekers and nature lovers in all seasons and nature lovers and nature-oriented tourism has a long tradition here. These are two of the reasons why St. Antönien is the first mountaineering village in Switzerland.

Being a mountaineering village is an award for the tireless commitment of the St. Antönier to a careful handling of nature, to a dynamic village with lived traditions and to an active social life. At the same time, it is a commitment to continue to take care of these values – so that St. Antönien remains livable and lovable.
