Lünersee: Rätikon light – 6 days
Level: T2, with parts T3
Period: End June – mid September
This is a spectacular hike in the high alpine area around the Lünersee. The length can easily be adjusted and can also be combined with our hike ‘Around the Sulzfluh‘, since both hikes have the Lindauerhütte on their itinerary. So you could even make this an epic eight or nine-day-hike!
Hiking times mentioned below are adjusted to hiking with kids. The part between the Totalphütte and the Mannheimerhütte (and the climb to the top of the Schasaplana) is is not a beginners hike. You need to be sure-footed for this section.
