  • Destination: Oberalppass

The last stage leads from the Treschhütte over the Fellilücke to the Lutersee. With a final descent, you reach the Oberalppass, the end of the six-day hike.

On the last day, you go from the Treschhütte up to the Fellilücke, back to Graubünden. The ascent takes two to three hours and is steady. Along the way, you pass an alp with cows and chickens before you walk the last meters over rock slabs, discovering small crystals repeatedly. From the pass, the Oberalppass with its famous lighthouse is already in sight. A relaxed high-level path leads to the Lutersee, inviting you for a refreshing swim. The short descent ends with a pleasant walk along the shore of the Oberalpsee before you reach the lighthouse after six days.
