This terrific hike is for all those who get weak knees
just thinking about carrying a heavy backpack all day, on this hike
you only need to carry a small day pack. The rest of your baggage will
travel parallel with us along the valley bottom and will be waiting
for you in your Hotel room. We place a lot of importance on a fine accommodations
and atmosphere as well as culinary delights this week. "Four Steps"
signifies short hiking stages, and "Four Stars" represents
the four star accommodations. This circular tour takes us through the
bizarre area around the Drei Zinnen.
