Early risers can expect a special experience: the sunrise on the Naafkopf mountain at 2570 meters, where the borders of Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Austria meet. You should allow around two and a half hours for the ascent and descent. Back at the Pfälzer hut , a hearty breakfast will fortify you for the next stage. The trail leads via Alp Gritsch through the idyllic Valüna valley to Gänglesee lake in Steg. This section takes around four hours.

Once you arrive at Gänglesee lake , you have two options: You can either hike on to your accommodation and enjoy wonderful views of the valley on the way, or you can opt for the bus.
