Rätikon High Trail | Hiking The Swiss-Austrian Alps | Oct 2022 | 4K
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.

No unfortunately, I don't often track my hikes due to draining batteries etc.
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.
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.
