Description

Fairly short notice hike this Sunday to the Drei Schwestern in Liechtenstein, a fantastic route with an amazing via feratta section over the peaks. I don't see the characterization, but the trail is marked blue and white and is T4 or T4+ so please be sure to understand what that means before joining. There are sections where you need to climb fairly high ladders, and hold steel cables while climbing steep inclines. 

The route shown is the only GPX file I could find that starts from Parkplatz Gafflei, I would not intend to descend all the way to Gafadura but instead to return to the start point after crossing all 3 peaks and of course if people want a longer hike we can take a different return or hike farther before heading back. Here is the link to the starting point:

There is not much climbing either (maybe 600m) so this is suitable for any fitness level but proper shoes are certainly needed for the middle section. It's all exposed so sunscreen and water are of course essential. I will be driving from the St. Gallen area, the parking lot is reachable by train and bus from Zurich departing at 7:38am, but I would be open to meeting at Vaduz and driving from there if it's easier. This can be determined after any others join and a WhatsApp group is created.
