- Rätikon High Trail: Swiss-Austrian Alps
Hightlights of my 3 day solo hike along the Rätikon high trail.
I had spent the previous 3 days confined inside my hotel room, splurging a little for some much needed recovery and down time after spending the good part of 2 months within a tent. Venturing out for the bare essentials before gaining the strength to muster the high-lands in my tent again.
Leaving the town of Bludenz, I found myself at the start of the trail head, overlooking the turquoise lake of Lünersee (a popular day hike accessible by cable car). I recall several locals looking at me as if I was mad, walking the trail in shorts and t-shirts as they shivered in the down puffers.
It wasn't long beyond the lake that I found myself isolated in nature, only crossing the path of others hikers upon crossing the boarder back into Switzerland.

Such a stunning area and route. I’d love to do this. Is wild camping allowed?
Hi Miguel, at the time of my hike, wild camping was permitted along this particular section of the Swiss Alps providing you were out of sight/off the track. Though wild camping along the Austrian side is not allowed. There are plenty of huts along the way too, though they tend to close early after the summer peak period. I got caught out and needed to pitch for a night on the Austrian side but stayed hidden.
@@ScalingSummits Thanks, the information is much appreciated.
Hello!
Do you recommend doing this trail in winter?
It looks stunning in summer, I'm wondering if doing it in winter is good idea :)
hi, you did this during early October? how heavy the your bag was? what kind of tent u use ? tent hold to ground? tent weight? i’m intend to do hiking in Austria during October. any other trail in Austria u would recommend during this month October? hope to hear advise from u soon. tks :)
Around mid October but would depend on the weather and/or any recent snow fall. Most of the huts are closed during this time and the tails are quiet as the winter nears closer. check the updated rules on camping in the area. When I went, it was possible to camp on the boarder of Switzerland as long as you were out of sight. Austria they prohibit camping. I don't generally weigh my equipment anymore, but I typically aim for a base weight of around 12kg+ food/water/cameras. Tent was a 3 season about 1.6kgs
@@ScalingSummits thanks for the advise :)
do you by any chance have a gpx track of your hike and would share it?
No unfortunately, I don't often track my hikes due to draining batteries etc.
So nice! Another wonderful upload Liam! Looks incredible out there. Great hike and epic shots.
Cheers mate.
Congrats on 1k Subs too.. Smashing it.
was the hike busy or were ther no people
I did this very late in the season around October hence not many people on trail. The day hikes from the Swiss side were more popular.
Beautiful landscape!
Many thanks!
How did you do this hike in 3 days? I thought it took 4-5 days. Did you just speed through it?
There are multiple options to shorten the trip and take if pressed for time. But yes, I did speed through it and covered more kms within a shorter period.
