Would you like to learn something about the history of water and electricity supply in Arosa, or do you simply want to discover the mysterious botanical and geological diversity of our region on your own? Then follow the natural history trail. The path leads from Iselwies to the Altein waterfall and back to the reservoir. This walk is also possible in bad weather.
Author’s recommendation
Enjoy the hike in July – because then the lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium calceolus) blooms in the Isel near Arosa. The plant loves light forests and calcareous soils – which is why it thrives particularly well in the Isel. The development from seed to flowering plant takes a full 12 to 15 years.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
