Spectacular mountain hike from Lindau to Tirano
We are crossing Switzerland from north to south on the Via Valtellina, passing five countries and three language regions on our long-distance hike. Totalling an impressive 234km in 9 days, we hike for up to 8.5 hours a day in high-mountain terrain, and a sure footing and excellent hiking condition are prerequisites for this walk. On the first day we will use a special vehicle to give us a fast and easy start :)
