Geheimtipp

The route from Chur to Lenzerheide is signposted and can be walked all year round. The route from Lenzerheide to the Rothorn can be walked from June.

Directions

The start is in Chur on the Quader meadow. From there you take the route through the old town and then turn to the road Chur-Arosa. At the junction “Arosa” continue straight towards Sand. At Sand, the route leaves the asphalt road on a gravel road towards Passugg. In Passugg, the route leads around the building of the drink manufacturer Passugger and leaves the road again on a dirt road. After a climb, you turn onto a wide gravel road. Follow the “Polish” path to Churwalden. You run through the village Churwalden (1’240m asl) past the post office, Coop and after the hotel Hemmi you turn left. Afterwards a longer section starts up to Büel, Foppa. In Foppa (1’753 m asl) turn into the asphalt road direction Parpan. After about 1 km down the road, turn left onto a narrow path towards Mittelberg. At Mittelberg, turn left onto the asphalt road that leads to Parpan. At the first junction in Parpan (1’493m asl), turn right into the main road just before the main road, turn left and then go up the parallel to the Hotel Alpina. After the post office, turn left. After about 15m turn right and after another 10m turn right again. You then turn directly into a narrow path that leads over roots to the Valbellnerhöhe. There you walk past a very small lake and then you run parallel to the road until you reach Canols. On your right, you can see the big lake Heidsee. Cross the main street and walk past the Canols kiosk. After a round around the right side of lake Heidsee you cross the main road at the Rothorn valley station. After the underpass turn right and then walk up the sidewalk and after about 100m cross the side of road and run straight into the forest. After about 1.5 km on a gravel road in the forest you cross a side road and cross the main road at the underpass. After going around the school you leave Lenzerheide (1’478m asl) again at the underpass and after the underpass you turn right towards village centre. After the UBS building turn left and walk up a steep asphalt road. After approximately 100m turn left onto a 1m wide gravel road. After the steep gravel road turn left onto an asphalt road after about 25m turn right. After another 100m turn left and then climb steeply again towards the waterfall. The path up to the waterfall is narrow and is very energy-sapping. When you reach the waterfall, a beautiful trail leads up to the Alp Scharmoin (1’904 m asl) to the Rothorn centre station. From the centre station, about 1km has many steep sections on the gravel road. Then there is a small flat section of about 500m. However, the final ascent starts at 2’266m asl on a route of approx. 2.5 km up to the Rothorn summit 2’861 m asl. Once you are on the summit, you can be proud of what you have done, because you have made the toughest marathon in the world!

Description

This section is the "wildest" of the long-distance hike. Although with Lafet and Balnettis you pass beautiful, traditional alpine pastures and mountain meadows, you often find yourself in wild gorges. The path here is little used and is not part of alpine access roads as on other parts of the route. It is all the more astonishing when you suddenly come across farmers making hay again. The meadows are very high and steep, and the access from the valley also leads over extremely steep roads, which are now being replaced by the - naturally sensible - melioration roads.

Geheimtipp

Very motivated and sporty hikers take the diversions over the Montalin (Chur's local mountain).

Sicherheitshinweis

In case of rain and especially thunderstorms, the ravines must be passed with increased caution.

Basically, in bad weather you should think twice about walking the trail, as it is not without danger.

Ausrüstung

Good shoes, rain jacket, walking sticks if necessary, enough to drink, snack to eat.

Directions

Directions

Public Transport

Bündner Kunstmuseum, Ausstellung Erweiterungsbau
With the expansion (2014-2016), the Graubünden Art Museum has become one of the most attractive museums in Switzerland for the public. It sees itself as a centre for art in and from Graubünden with international appeal.

Description

The extension of 2014-2016 has made the Art Museum Graubünden one of Switzerland's most attractive museums. It is a centre for art in and from Graubünden with international renown. The magnificent historical Villa Planta and the modern extension by Barozzi Veiga come together as a unique architectural unit which by itself is worth a visit.

A home for art in Graubünden

The unique collection comprises some 8,000 works from all strands of art ranging from the 18th century to the present and is exhibited on an area of 1,200 square metres. Among the highlights are works by Chur-born Angelika Kauffmann (1741 - 1807), one of the first female artists to win recognition by the Royal Academy in London. The heart of the collection is the artist family Giacometti, with pieces by the world-famous sculptor Alberto and the two accomplished Swiss painters Giovanni and Augusto. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1180 - 1938) and Swiss Expressionism are represented in the collection with some striking works. More recent and contemporary streams are represented by Matias Spescha (1925 - 2008), Not Vital (*1948) or Hans Danuser (*1953), to give an example.

Special exhibitions

In addition to the permanent exhibition, five to six exhibitions of historical and contemporary art, thematic or monographic in nature, are shown throughout the year. Information on current and future exhibitions can be found at www.buendner-kunstmuseum.ch

A public space where art comes alive

The museum is a space of encounter, where art becomes tangible for everyone thanks to a diverse and varied programme of tours, talks and other events. It is a house with open doors where everyone can feel at home and spend an enjoyable few hours. The art museum Graubünden offers a wide range of art mediation events and services complemented its exhibitions. Public tours, family and kids' events, art mediation for schools and adolescents, exhibition guides, academic publications, catalogues, symposia, artist talks and performances make for an interesting programme. The museum staff engages personally with its visitors to give them the best possible access to art in all its facets.

Museum cafe and bookshop

There is a stylish cafe in the museum, located in the stately conservatory of Villa Planta. During summer, visitors sit outside under a group of old, shady sequoias just off the pedestrian area. The cafe offers fresh, regional cuisine. In the Foyer you will find a well-stocked art book store with a wide selection of exhibition catalogues and art postcards depicting the most famous works from the museum's collection.
