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 2,053m above sea level. The Middle Sister, located north-east of it reaches a height of 2,048m, and the north-eastern Little Sister 2,034m 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 the 10 June 1870 by John Sholto Douglass from Thüringen, Vorarlberg, with a hunter named Wieser from Frastanz.
