Drei Schwestern (The Three Sisters) is a mountain located on the border of Austria and Liechtenstein. It forms a natural boundary between Liechtenstein and the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. The Three Sisters are a three-peaked mountain chain in the Rätikon, a mountain range of the Western Central Alps. The highest peak, the Great Sister, is 2,053 metres (6,736 ft) above sea level. The Middle Sister, located north-east of it reaches a height of 2,048 metres (6,719 ft), and the north-eastern Little Sister 2,034 metres (6,673 ft) high. The three peaks mark the border between Feldkirch in Austria and Liechtenstein. Through a well-developed road system, they are easily accessible and are often climbed. The first ascent was probably made by hunters. The first recorded ascent was on 10 June 1870 by John Sholto Douglass from Thüringen, Vorarlberg, with a hunter named Wieser from Frastanz.
