Via Alpina Purple A23

Via Alpina Purple A23 is a 34.5 km International Hiking hiking trail covering an interesting stretch of countryside.

Covering 34.5 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 7 hours and 40 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Follow the VA-A23 waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

This trail belongs to the International Walking Network (IWN) — one of Europe's most ambitious cross-border hiking networks. Waymarking and maintenance follow international standards throughout.
