Hut-to-hut High Alpine Tour (T4)

The idea is a 4-days-3-nights hiking tour from hut to hut, mostly on T4-class high alpine routes (white-blue-white).
Overnight stays are foreseen in the SAC huts along the way.
As an option, a drop-out is possible after day 3.

Note: One part has a spectacular suspension bridge and a steep 45m ladder nearly vertically up. For this one short stretch klettersteig/via ferrata gear can be rented locally.
