The perfect after-work tour: This mostly flat round trip leads from Chur via the Chur Rhine Valley through the picturesque Domleschg.  Most of the journey leads through gentle hilly landscapes, past wonderful orchards and imposing castles and palaces.

The plain around Domat/Ems consists of different landslides: The Flimser Bergsturz, Kunkels and Calanda. The erosion has left over only the hard debris. This hills are called «Tumas» and build a protected nature reserve today.

The Chur city bus no.1 takes you from the main station to Domat/Ems (bus-stop «Domat/Ems Post»), the starting point. During this hiking tour you will explore different «Tumas», cross the Rhine river and visit the village of Tamins. On the way back to Domat/Ems, you cross the Rhine river another time, across a weir this time. At the same bus-station (Domat/Ems Post) you take the bus back to Chur.

The area between the 3 mountain railways of Chur-Dreibündenstein (Brambrüesch), Pradaschier and Feldis is a paradise for snow shoeing. The high plateau in the centre of these areas offers spectacular panorama views of the surrounding mountain scenery (Calanda, Arosa, Lenzerheide, Flims-Laax and Surselva). The peak point where the different routes merge is the landmark of the Dreibündenstein at 2160 m, a stone monument to the freedom fighters of Graubünden, which marks the common border point of the former Three Leagues of Raetia. This signposted route goes from Brambrüesch to the Dreibündenstein and back to Brambrüesch (GR 4).

In the communes of Bonaduz, Domat / Ems, Felsberg, Rhäzüns and Tamins, rhiienergie created five interconnected Nordic Walking routes (also suitable for jogging / running). Each route runs for about 10 kilometers on existing paths and roads across meadows and through forests. A corresponding signage shows on the one hand the way direction and on the other the respective distance covered.

The start takes place at the Obertor and through the historic old town of Chur, past the bishop's court and the cathedral and shortly afterwards on natural paths and through the residential quarter to the Fürstenwald recreation area. After a nice round through the forest we descend again towards the Mühleturm and the banks of the Rhine. After a longer flat stretch along the Rhine, the way back follows a magnificent section of forest until you finally immerse yourself in city life again from the Rosenhügel back to the old town.

This beautiful route leads from Chur to the Piz Scalottas. Not directly, of course. So it goes from Chur ers to Brambrüesch, over the Fuulhorn and Stätzerhorn and finally over the Piz Danis until the finish on the Piz Scalottas is reached. From Piz Scalottas you can comfortably take the chairlift back down to the valley.  

From Chur, follow the course of the Rhine and cross the villages of Felsberg and Tamins to the confluence of the Rhine at Reichenau. You then reach the high plateau of the municipalities of Bonaduz and Rhäzüns. The route takes you past the historic Sogn Gieri church. Optionally, you can plan a detour to Rhäzüns to visit the church of Sogn Paul. The new Hinterrheinsteg, which connects national cycle routes no. 2 (Rhine route) and no. 6 (Graubünden route), finally takes you back to Chur via the Domat/Ems golf course. 

The new Hinterrheinsteg opens up many possibilities and is also suitable for families.
