Hiking
The rightly famous and impressive Fürstensteig offers fabulous views and sections carved into the rock, some of which are secured with ropes. For this circular hike, you should be sure-footed and have absolutely no fear of heights. Also find out about the weather and snow conditions in advance.
The starting point is at the car park at the Gaflei clinic, which you can also reach by public bus. The first few meters are relaxed until you turn onto a rooty forest path. You leave the forest and switch to the Fürstensteig, which meanders narrowly along the rock and leads you over small wooden bridges and stone fields. Dangerous spots are partially secured with a rope. Spectacular views of Vaduz and the Rhine Valley await you.
You continue to climb uphill with concentration, always along the edge of the abyss. Then you reach the Gafleisattel and can take a deep breath between fields of mountain pines. You hike down a gravel slope to a panoramic alpine pasture on the Bargällasattel – the geographical center of the principality. In the alpine hut there is cake and drinks for a well-deserved break before you return to the starting point on a wide gravel road.

Trail Reviews
Spectacular tour over the Fürstensteig from Gaflei. Almost nobody around and super pleasant temperatures.
The Fürstensteig is accessible again after it was closed due to falling rocks and is in very good condition. In the morning the tour is in the shade as it climbs, making it ideal for hot days.
A really nice hike. Promising and adventurous. Actually the route is over 9 km long. We took a shortcut because of the heat.
Wonderful tour in the afternoon in Liechtenstein over the Fürstensteig and the Bärgällasattel, this is a path hewn into the rock, which is secured with a wire rope and is also exciting for children. We were lucky that we were mostly alone and could enjoy the great view. 🤩
Wonderful after-work session ☺️ Pure running time 2 hours 25 minutes.

Short, beautiful alpine hike in the Principality of Liechtenstein. Next time to the 3 sisters😉
A quick walk over the Fürstensteig before the big snow comes and the Fürstensteig goes into its well-deserved winter break.😁 It was wonderful today 🥰 apart from chamois and a fussy ptarmigan there was no one else around 🤗 what more could you want🤗🥰
