    It is best to travel to Klosters by public transport. The next day you set out on your first stage: the Via Valtellina and the Jakobsweg lead you about 14.5 kilometers to Davos Platz. For the second stage, you take the popular high-altitude hike to Arosa. You will be on the way for about 6 to 7 hours and will be rewarded with breathtaking views - at the key point you will encounter a steep staircase secured with wire ropes to hold on to. Surefootedness, concentration, and a head for heights are required here. The route can be shortened a bit by taking the Schatzalpbahn from Davos Platz, overcoming the first height meters. The last stage leads on a 3-5 hour hike (depending on your wish, parts can be completed with cable cars) from Arosa to Lenzerheide - past the crystal-clear mountain lakes Schwälli and Älplisee!

    Roadbook

    Stage 1: Klosters - Davos
    On the Via Valtellina, the former mule track for wine imports from Veltlin, the stage leads from Klosters Platz to Davos Dorf. It continues on the Jakobsweg to Davos Platz. The walking time is about 4.5 hours and leads over the Wolfgang Pass. The mountain trail requires moderate technique and poses moderate demands on your fitness. The stage is about 14.5 km long.

    Stage 2: Davos - Arosa
    You follow the footsteps of the Walser in the high valleys of Graubünden. The Walserweg stage Davos - Arosa is about 20 km long and takes about 6.5 hours. There are 1,100 meters of altitude to be overcome. After crossing Latschüelfurgga, you will encounter the "Tritt" - the key point. The steep staircase, secured with wire ropes to hold on to, requires surefootedness, concentration, and a head for heights; in return, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views! To facilitate this stretch, you can overcome the first approx. 250 meters of altitude in Davos Platz with the Schatzalpbahn.


    Stage 3: Arosa - Lenzerheide
    The last stage is also the longest stage. For the 18 km and 1,200 meters of altitude, about 7.5 hours are to be calculated. Our tip: Benefit from the Arosa all-inclusive card and take the gondola to Hörnli and start the hike there. The last part from Parpaner Rothorn to Lenzerheide can also be overcome with the aerial cableway to shorten the hiking time.
