Schijenflue

Schijenflue is a mountain summit in the Rätikon range at 2627 meters, marked by steep limestone cliffs and high western faces between Vorarlberg and Graubünden. The peak offers various climbing routes with different levels of difficulty across its rocky terrain.

The first documented ascent took place in 1891 when Eduard Imhof and his team climbed the southern ridge from Partnun. This achievement established the peak as a recognized climbing destination in the Rätikon range.

The mountain paths follow sections of the Walserweg trail, which mirrors routes that the Walser people once traveled through these alpine regions. These paths show how communities historically moved through high mountain terrain.

The Tilisunahütte mountain refuge at 2208 meters serves as a base point for hikers planning an ascent to the summit. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather and bring gear suited to high alpine terrain.

The mountain features reef limestone formations created during Alpine mountain building, which have produced climbing routes with grades up to UIAA VII+. These rock formations make the peak a destination for experienced climbers seeking technical challenges.
