Description

The Smuggler’s Tour to duty-free Samnaun offers a unique hiking experience combined with shopping. From Ischgl village centre, take either the Fimbabahn (A3) or Silvrettabahn (A1) up to Idalp at 2,300 m. Then, ride the Flimjochbahn (B2) to Viderjoch at 2,700 m, the border between Austria and Switzerland. Next, take the Flimsattelbahn (N1) to Alp Trida. After a short walk, reach the Alp Trider Sattelbahn (N6). The double-decker cable car (L1/L2) then takes you down to Samnaun for shopping. Start your return by 14:30 to ensure a lift back to Ischgl. Note: Dogs cannot be transported on chair lifts, free running dogs on slopes are not allowed.
