Push your limits. Breathe the alpine air. Run above the clouds.

The K78 leads through high alpine terrain between Chants und Dürrboden. The Panoramatrail is a narrower and in parts more exposed mountain path. The weather and the temperatures change quickly at this height. Warm protection against rain ia therefore very important. In bad weather the route leads over the Alp Funtauna.
