From Chur station, simply follow the signposted route 501 (Churer Rheinroute) through the Fürstenwald, to Trimmis and to the Rhine. Turn left there and follow the route again to Haldenstein and through the old town back to the starting point at Chur station.

From Chur, the ascent is via the mountain road to Langwies with its impressive railway viaduct. In Langwies, turn left and head downhill towards the railway station, cross the Plessur and then climb uphill off the road in the quiet forest to Litzirüti. There you cross the road again before continuing in the forest towards the reservoir and completing the last part of the climb to Arosa via Untersee to Obersee.

By the way: If you want to shorten the tour, you can take the Arosa railway from Chur to Langwies, Litzirüti or Arosa and thus do a large part of the ascent with the e-bike by train.

From Arosa there is a pleasant ascent to Ochsenalp, which is already the highest point of this tour and is open to the public in the summer months.

Now follows the descent to Tschiertschen. The scenery is spectacular and the trail is also varied and exciting. You reach Tschiertschen on a single trail, with a short counter-climb at the end. The pretty mountain village is truly a feast for the eyes - and an ideal place for a break to refuel in one of the restaurants. Now the descent follows along the little-used mountain road to Praden and on to Passugg. After the hotel management school, a beautiful and easy trail branches off to the right and leads flowingly down to Meiersboden. Now it is not far back to Chur. After a detour through the old town, you return to the starting point at the railway station.

 

If you want to shorten the tour, you can take the Arosa railway from Chur to Langwies, Litzirüti or Arosa and thus make a large part of the ascent, including the e-bike, by train.

You start your tour directly at the bus stop of the Obere Au. Follow the mill streams past the concrete garden and the Kneipp bath to coffee Merz. Cross the road and go under the highway along Pulvermühle street. Immediately after the roundabout on the right side of the road is the former Pulvermühle.

At the end of the Pulvermühle, directly at the roundabout, turn right and after a few meters you will see the mill streams again. Cross the road at the signalized crossing and follow Küblereiweg and later Vogelsangweg onto Sägenstrasse; turn right at the road junction near the climbing center.

Continue along Sägenstrasse until you reach the roundabout, turn right there and continue to the end of the road. Turn left at the next roundabout and follow Kasernenstrasse to the entrance "Welschdörfli". Diagonally opposite the hotel Schweizerhaus, turn right into Seilerbahnweg and then directly left into St. Margrethenstrasse. Follow this street, cross Malixerstrasse and turn into Höhenbühlweg. Follow this, turn right a little up the slope and then take the first staircase on the left down to Lindenquai (with strollers / wheelchairs follow Malixerstrasse, turn right at the traffic circle and into Lindenquai). Follow the Lindenquai and the Bodmerstrasse; at the retirement home cross the Plessur and follow the Plessurquai and the Sandstrasse to the right until you reach the aqueduct. Immediately afterwards - at the train depot - take the left fork Sandstrasse and follow the path around the sports field. At the end of the path cross St. Luzistrasse and go opposite into Münzweg. Follow the Münzweg until you reach Willy Sand mill; after the mill follow Jochstrasse. After the sculptor's workshop Bianchi turn right and follow the Jochstrasse until the end and the Arcas square. At Arcas go through the "Brotlaube" to Martinsplatz and follow Poststrasse to the crossroads by the UBS building. Cross the big main street (Grabenstrasse) and follow Bahnhofsstrasse to Alexanderplatz and further Alexanderstrasse (past Mc Donald's) to the intersection at Gürtelstrasse. Cross under the tracks and then turn directly left. Between the allotment gardens you will see the millstreams open again. Immediately after, turn right twice until you are in front of the old chocolate factory, now Activ Fitness. Walk across the parking lot (opposite the Activ Fitness entrance) and follow Calandastrasse. At the intersection with Calandastrasse turn right and follow the street until the end and the intersection with Ringstrasse. Turn left here until you reach the roundabout and there turn right into Tittwiesenstrasse. Follow this road until you reach the two high-rise buildings and you will see the millstreams open again in the field opposite these buildings. Follow the mill streams until you reach the "Ententeich" near Mehli Landmaschinen. From here on you can no longer walk along the mill streams, but follow the Rheinmühleweg until you reach the field path. Turn right there and follow the path for a few meters until just before the allotment gardens. Turn left there and follow the path to the banks of the Rhine and the Rhine promenade. At the Rhine turn left and follow the shore to Camp Au; during this walk you will see the mouth of the mill streams on the Rhine. From Camp Au, use the Tennisplatzweg back to Obere Au, the starting and also the end point of your tour.
