This trail offers a blissful view across the Schanfigg valley all the way to Chur. The
starting point of this option is at the Arosa train station (at the Obersee lake). Follow
the lake along its left hand shore to the stairs that lead to the road to Maran or follow
the Squirrel Trail. Once you have reached Prätschli, continue to the Prätschsee lake via
the Prätschalp until you reach the Rot Tritt. Once you have reached Ochsenalp via Wolfboden, you can enjoy a well-deserved break at the mountain restaurant and indulge in
many home-made delicacies!
The hotel Prätschli presents the starting point of this route (can be reached by bus).
Once you have reached the upper Prätschsee lake, follow the trail along the Sandböden
via the Scheideggsee lake down to the Scheidegg. It is a downhill hike from this point
forward until you reach the Ochsenalp (restaurant available) – so enjoy the splendid
view over the lower Schanfigg valley and the Chur Rhine valley. Follow the trail through
a sparse mountain forest to the „Gatter“ and down to the Urdental. The trail continues
to Tschiertschen via the Bleiswald forest.

Start in Innerarosa and follow the sign posts along the Alpweiden uphill via the „Hörnlistein“ (ragged tooth-like rock) to the Hörnli hut (2513 m). If you prefer the more
comfortable option, you can also take the Hörnliexpress gondolas. The gondolas and
all other cable cars are free of charge when presenting the all-inclusive Arosa Card.
Continue your hike by crossing from the Hörnli to the Urdenfürggli. At the foot of the
Tschirpen, the trail winds along the northern ridge of the Parpan Weisshorn before
ascending to the Urdenfürggli (2546m). Follow the route southwards along the exposed Apline trail of the Parpan Weisshorn to the Gredigsfürggli. The ascent continues
to the Schafälpli and along the Älplisee Lake to the Schwellisee Lake back to the Kulm

The starting point of this tour is at the square outside the lido at the Untersee lake. The
first part includes hiking to the sewage treatment plant (ARA) where you cross the river
Welschtobel at the ‘mini Golden Gate’ bridge. The trail starts with slow but gradual
ascents at the Isel meadow until you reach the Furggabödeli. Enjoy a fabulous view on
Arosa from there. Continue along the Furggatobel to the Maienfeld Furgga (2436 m)
where you will find a safety hut. The descent passes by the Stafelalp (mountain restaurant) to Frauenkirch. You can then either take the train to Davos or walk to Davos-Platz.
This is a rewarding hike with an admittedly strenuous part in the first third of the tour.
Therefore, we recommend that you commence the tour early in the morning so as to
avoid having to climb uphill in the heat of the day.

The two largest cities in the region of Schanfigg are Chur and Arosa, at the beginning and at the end of the valley. Small, but classy – the towns of Schanfigg – the
two sides of the Schanfigg valley are dotted with small and medium sized towns
which have been able to preserve their traditional characters, despite the development of the rather sophisticated ski resort of Arosa. Simple, yet harmonious wooden
houses, surrounded by meadows, hedges and larch forests line the windy mountain
road. Some of the most popular sights are the mountain lakes, the old Wals colonies
(Strassberg in Fondei,Sapün, Medergen) and the relatively unknown mountain peaks
of Montalin and Mattjisch Horn.

Round Trip chur – arosa – chur
Enjoy your hike –
but safely
Hiking is a balanced way to relax while gathering new experiences and impressions.
Nothing is further from a hiking experience than exaggerated ambition and self-overestimation. Careful planning, good equipment and reasonable behaviour all play
together in creating a wonderful hiking experience.
Correct planning:
Adjust your route according to the season (i.e. weather conditions, day light)
Align the distance and level of difficulty of the hike with the
physical condition and expertise of the weakest group member
(e.g. children)
Include alternative routes or possible return routes in your planning
Observe the local weather reports
(e.g. at your accommodation, Arosa Tourism or Arosa Cable Car Company)
Allow for enough time (rest, unforeseen events)
Correct equipment
Weather conditions can change abruptly in the mountains (i.e. fog, rain,
sudden drop of temperature and wind).
Wanderkarte
Hiking boots that reach above the ankle with rubber profile soles and
perhaps special covers
Bring clothes that allow for unexpected weather changes. In general,
the concept of multi-layering is advisable whereby several layers of
clothes replace one warm jacket
Bring warm clothes: sweater, hat, cloves, wind protection
Sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses with sufficient UV protection, first-aid kit
Hiking poles can strongly relieve the stress on joints and are therefore
particularly helpful during downhill walks
26
Correct behaviour
Do not divert from the official hiking trails
Small steps and an even pace can save energy during the uphill
climb and spare the joints during the downhill walk
Do not lean backwards during the downhill walk.
It increases the risk of sliding
Keep hydrating before you feel thirsty. The feeling of thirst
arises only after the actual need for hydration
Do not take risks in case of bad weather conditions,
feeling unwell (faintness) or any other unideal situations
The 5 Rules of Hiking
Keep an eye on potential weather changes
Make sure your equipment is complete and adequate
Inform a non-participating person about your route and
let them know when you have reached the destination
Follow the policy of „When in doubt, return“
Enjoy your hike with a smile on your face
Emergency Behaviour
International emergency signal: give a sign six times within one minute (i.e. call, whistle, blink). Wait for one minute. Repeat.
Answer: give a sign three times within one minute.

The total of the hiking trail network includes the hiking trails, the mountain

Note
The use of the Arosa cable cars as well as the train on the route Langwies – Arosa are free of charge when
presenting the Arosa Card.
Hiking trails are for everyone and normally prioritised for
pedestrians. Whenever possible the trails do not follow
roads that are also used by motorised vehicles. In addition,
these trails largely avoid tarmac surfaces. Steep passages
are generally shaped with steps and places with risks of falling are secured
with railing.
River and streams can be crossed by bridges and jetties. Hiking trails should be
accessible by everyone. The sign posts for hiking trails are yellow.
Mountain hiking trails are trails that occasionally connect
areas of rough terrain. They are often steep and narrow
and sometimes exposed. Particularly difficult passages are
generally secured with ropes or chains. Rivers and streams
must at times be crossed at a ford. Hikers on mountain hiking trails should be
