Älplihorn

Local communities in the Prättigau region maintain traditional agricultural practices around the mountain slopes, preserving centuries-old methods of alpine farming.

The Mitteltälligrat trail provides access to the summit, with the nearby town of Davos offering accommodation, supplies, and transportation services for mountaineers.
