01/ Overview

The route

A hike around the Flimspitz and past five beautiful clear lakes. The trail crosses the terrain of Alp Trida with countless boulders left behind after a rock fall. The backdrop: the peaks of the three-country corner of Switzerland - Austria - Italy.

From the Alptrider Sattel stop, the starting point at Alp Trider Sattel can be reached in just a few minutes. The mountain trail initially descends gently across open pastures. This is followed by a long ascent, leading into increasingly rocky terrain as it gains height. The entire circuit involves around 600 metres of ascent.

Shortly before the Flimjoch, the route reaches its highest point at around 2,760 m. The Bürkelkopf rises nearby, although the trail does not lead to its summit. Beyond the Flimjoch, the circuit continues through barren terrain. The narrow mountain trail requires care, but rewards with sweeping views across the Samnaun group. The return leg begins after the Ausser Viderjoch. It passes the small Viderjoch reservoir before continuing across more open slopes. After a good three hours, the circuit ends back at Alptrider Sattel, from where it is only a short walk to the stop.

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
