Along the Inn and through the narrow Inn gorge you reach the Austrian town of Pfunds. The ascent to the Kobler Alpe is quite demanding. You are rewarded with the high trail via Spiss to Samnaun.
Note on the route:
- The signposted loop from Martina to Tschlin and back via God d'Urezzas to Martina can optionally be added at the beginning of the fourth stage.
- Between Martina and Pfunds the route follows the main road.
Author’s recommendation
Brand paradise Samnaun - probably the highest shopping mile in Europe offers something for every taste, from jewellery and food to tobacco. Thanks to the duty-free zone, best prices are guaranteed.
