Today's stage could be described as an active recovery day. Just 3.5 hours walking time, less than 1000 meters uphill and hardly any meters downhill. Your thighs will be happy. There is also enough time to take an afternoon nap in the meadow at the Friedrichshafener Hütte, our destination for today, and enjoy the Alpine panorama of the Silvretta.
Medium-difficulty stage on good paths. Sure-footedness, a solid level of fitness and good walking technique are required.
Today we take things a bit easier and the most leisurely stage awaits us, with 3.5 hours walking time. Nonetheless, there is still 850 metres altitude to negotiate before we reach our destination for today: Friedrichshafener Hütte. From the centre of the village we head to the district of Außertschafein at 1560m and from here we follow the signposts for Friedrichshafener Hütte. This route is really quite challenging from the Tyrol Flood and Avalanche Protection Services office (Amt der Tiroler Wildbach- und Lawinenverbauung). Information boards have been put up at two sites, providing details about the vegetation, forestry and also the installation of avalanche barriers. From this section we are in the Verwall group and inevitably we start to gaze in wonder at the side of valley opposite, which is located in the Samnaun group, where we were a few days ago. Upon reaching the footpath we enjoy a relaxing hike to Friedrichshafener Hütte which is situated at 2138m. The sun shines for a long time in the evening on the routes we have already walked on - Rauher Kopf, Außerbergli, Innerbergli and the rest.
