It is just one kilometre from the railway station of Chur to the valley station of the modern Brambrüeschbahn cable car. From the town limits, the cable car first stops at the Känzeli mid station and then the gondola continues to the home mountain of Chur – continuously along the ridge and with a view of the town and the Rhine valley of Chur.

The sledding adventure starts at an altitude of exactly 1000 metres above the canton capital, either directly at the mountain station or alternatively a little down from there near the ski lift. The slope features fast downhills, sweeping curves and some straight and relaxing passages, as well. On these particularly you are able to enjoy the panorama into the Grisons alpine world: The pristine Schanfigg valley with its Walser villages literally lie at your feet and on the right side of the valley, the Arosa Weisshorn is well visible.

Thanks to the even slope, the sled run is ideal for families and children. As the grand finale before the finish line at the Känzeli mid station, the view once more trails over the valley deep down to Chur below.

The ascent of this tour is very comfortable - just enter the gondola in Chur and  float to Brambrüesch. Up there on the high plateau, exactly 1'000 meters of height above the city of Chur, first you walk straight forward and you will pass three mountain restaurants: Battagliahütte, VIVA berg.baiz and Malixerhof. When you pass the Malixerhof, the descent into direction of Känzeli begins. Follow the wide forest road and enjoy the scenery and the panorama. Here and there you walk in the shade of the forest, then through some longer glades. In the middle section the panorama to the Schanfigg valley with the mountains of Hochwang, Arosa Weisshorn, Strelapass and Weissfluhgipel are particularly beautiful. Shortly before you arrive at the Känzeli the panorama to the city of Chur and the Rhine valley opens up. From the middle station Känzeli you can then float back into valley with the gondola.

The ascent to Brambrüesch you conquer on this tour very comfortable, namely with the gondola from Chur. Arrived on the high plateau, exactly 1'000 meters above the city of Chur, you walk leisurely from the mountain station straight ahead past several mountain restaurants: Battagliahütte, VIVA berg.baiz and Malixerhof. So if you want to enjoy the view on a sun terrace, has a good selection. At the Malixerhof, it finally goes down towards the middle station Känzeli. The path runs parallel to the toboggan run, but is wide enough to accommodate sledgers and hikers. In contrast to the toboggan offer the winter hiking trail works even if there is little or no snow. Following the path gently downhill, you can enjoy the scenery and views. In between, you walk in the shadow of the woods, then come again longer open sections. In the middle section, the panorama into the Schanfigg Valley with Hochwang, Arosa Weisshorn, Strela Pass and Weissfluhgipfel is especially beautiful. Just before you arrive at the Känzeli, the view of the city of Chur and the Grisons Rhine Valley becomes clear. From the middle station Känzeli you can then comfortably hover with the gondola back to the valley.

The route runs along the main road for a while until the silence begins at Rabius. Sections of hiking trail alternate with forest and alpine roads. Above Trun, you come to the settlement of Caltgadira, where the well-known pilgrimage church of Maria Licht has been a beautiful baroque building since 1683.

Now it's time to gain altitude. Over long stretches on hiking trails, you finally reach the village of Schlans. A Grisons mountain village could hardly be more original. A short walk through the alleyways is definitely worthwhile. The hike to Dardin continues for three kilometers on a paved side road, allowing you to relax and enjoy the mountain scenery. The final ascent to Brigels, again on well-maintained hiking trails, completes the day's hiking.

The mountain village of Schlans on the steep sunny slope is worth a long break.

The family mountain village of Brigels is not only a good place to spend the night, but also well worth a tour of the village.

It is also possible to stay overnight at the start of the stage in Rabius.

This biking tour starts in Chur, a city surrounded by 937 Grisons mountain peaks. There are plenty of things to do and see here in Switzerland's oldest town. Wanting mountain magic or vibrant city life? Chur in the Alps has both. This is a round trip amid magnificent scenery and with gentle climbs and beautiful descents. Leave the pulsating city behind you as you continue along the Plessur towards Meiersboden. This pleasant route goes up to Passugg, where the famous Passugg mineral water has been bubbling out of the Theophil Spring for over 400 years. From Passugg follow the street upwards for a moment. Then turn right and follow the Polenweg to Churwalden. Turn left at the monastery and ride through the Chlosterwald to the Oberhus and then on to Spina. High above the municipality of Malix, the route continues steadily upwards until you get to the Brambrüesch plateau, the location of the mountain station for the Chur mountain railway. Here, several guesthouses offer you the opportunity to recharge your batteries while enjoying outstanding views of the many mountain peaks. The descent takes you through meadows and pastures to the Känzeli, Rosenhügel, Obertor and finally ends in the traffic free Oldtown (or if you prefer a proper trail descent, just follow one of the official freeride trails in the Alpenbikepark Chur). Perfect to finish the tour in one of the many terraces. In early summer this tour is magnificent due to its Alpine flora and fauna.

Taking the Tgantieni chairlift, the first step of the tour is comfortably begun. Above lies the alpine path, going to the Tgantieni Mountain Hotel and then further onto the Bergbeizli (small mountain pub) Spoina. The first part runs over well-prepared forest roads with occasional glimpses of Lenzerheide and Heid lake. The gentle descent passes the Valbella hostel and goes through Parpan village back to Churwalden.

A further nature trail brings you to Passugg, which is the source of a famous mineral water. The roaring creek Rabiosa, in Romansch «The Raging», cuts its way through the Passugg gorge. In 1863 this spring was rediscovered, which is known today throughout Switzerland as the mineral springs of Passugg. Next you drop down to Chur and take the gondola back up to Brambrüesch. From here descend again on a tarmac surface to Churwalden, where you take the chairlift Heidbüel.
