ArosaPhoto: Marco Hartmann, Graubünden Ferien
The Schanfigg region is shaped by the two important places Chur and Arosa at the entrance and end of the valley. In between are small and medium-sized villages that have retained their original character despite the tourist development in Arosa.
5 tips on the Schanfigg high route:
1. Tschiertschen: The picturesque village was voted the most beautiful mountain village in Graubünden.
2. Arosa: There is much to discover here; the Arosa Bearland, the squirrel trail, or loosen tired hiking legs in the cool water of the Untersee beach pool.
3. Sapün and Berggasthaus Heimeli: The side valley Sapün is one of the scenic highlights of this long-distance hike. From the terrace of the mountain inn, you can be lucky to observe wildlife.
4. Green lake in Fondei: The Green lake on the Duranna Pass is too beautiful to just walk past. Treat yourself to a break.
5. Hochwang: The section between Fondei and Hochwang is perfect as a photo motif: moorland, flower meadows, sunburnt wooden barns
The individual Schanfigg stages last between 3 and 6 hours. Since some of the stage locations are accessible by public transport, there are different entry and exit options. This allows a flexible route planning adapted to your own needs and ambitions.
