Rheintaler Höhenweg

The Rheintaler Höhenweg, lit. 'Rhine valley high path', is a hiking trail along the western side of the Alpine Rhine Valley in Switzerland.[1]

This route is not to be confused with the Rheinhöhenweg Trail, which is much further north, downstream in Germany.

The total route covers around 100 km (62 mi), and reaches a maximum elevation of 1,430 metres (4,690 ft) above sea level.

The route can be split up into several stages, for example:
