Ancient smuggler trails mark the border between Serfaus in Austria and Samnaun in Switserland. The steep Alpine landscape of the Samnaun group enabled th smugglers after the second world war to travel between the countries mostly undetected.

Like smugglers in the night we depart from our hotel to CLimb Mt Furgler and experience the sunrise, before setting off to the Village of Samnaun the next day.
The northern Samnaun Ridge is generally divided in two parts, separated at Flathjoch Pass to the south-west of Hexenkopf. The eastern part branches out into two ridges at its far north-eastern end The Seekopf Ridge in the north, the Sattelkopf Ridge in the east. Both combine near Furgler, the easternmost 3000er of the Samnaun Group. From there it is a short main ridge towards Hexenkopf (which is the highest summit of this part of the main ridge) with a couple of short side ridges north and south. The Sattelkopf Ridge is home to all the Serfaus ski runs and is consequently heavily developed.
