Drusenfluh is a striking rocky massif straddling the border between Austria's Montafon valley and Switzerland's Prättigau, and one of the ten highest peaks in the Rätikon range. Its dramatic profile and towering south face make it an unmistakable landmark for hikers and climbers alike.
The summit ridge runs northwest to southeast, and the Austrian-Swiss border follows it exactly. From the top, views stretch across the Rätikon massif and the nearby Drei Türme (Three Towers), which together with Drusenfluh form the Drusenfluh group. In summer, the terrain is classic high-alpine limestone country — exposed ledges, steep gullies and rugged ridgelines — while in winter the upper slopes turn into a serious ski-touring challenge reserved for experienced mountaineers.
How to reach the summitThe peak was first climbed in 1870 by local mountain guide Christian Zudrell, who carved his initials into the summit rock — the weathered stone can still be seen today near the Lindauer Hütte.
