Jonaboden is a high-altitude alpine pasture and a former mountain settlement located within the municipality of Schaan in the Samina Valley of Liechtenstein. The area is situated on a prominent terrain step above the Samina River and is bordered by the peaks of the Drei Schwestern range. Historically, Jonaboden served for centuries as a summer grazing ground for cattle belonging to farmers from Schaan, with alpine agriculture leaving a lasting imprint on the landscape. The vegetation consists of lush mountain meadows and robust stone pine stands adapted to the harsh climatic conditions at over 1500 meters above sea level. Today, the area is primarily significant for hikers and nature enthusiasts who value its seclusion and pristine alpine flora. There is no permanent settlement, yet the old stone huts bear witness to the hard work of dairy farmers in times past. Jonaboden is an important component of the ecological network in the Samina Valley and serves as a sanctuary for protected wildlife species.
