Incredible hike. Starting from the parking lot above Planken, the trail leads past the Gafadura Hut and over the Saroja Saddle to the summits of the Three Sisters. From there, you have fantastic views of up to four countries, and with luck, you might even see Lake Constance. However, keep in mind that this hike is not for those with a fear of heights, as you'll often be standing just a few meters from the edge, especially in the upper rock face. There are also two steel ladders to climb along the way.

The hike to the Three Sisters is beautiful and offers breathtaking views. However, the route should not be underestimated: alpine terrain, experience, and sure-footedness are essential. Some sections are exposed and occasionally dangerous, so a head for heights is absolutely necessary. Those with the required skills will be rewarded with a fantastic hike!
