The Schesaplana is the highest mountain in the Rätikon mountain range at the border between Vorarlberg, Austria and Graubuenden, Switzerland. It has an elevation of 2,964.3 m (9,725 ft).
It is possible to reach the summit on various routes during a hike, making it useful for a multiday trek between the mountain huts in the area. A more horizontal trek is following the whole of the Rätikon chain along its southern face, called "Prättigauer Höhenweg".[2]
