Directions
The start is in Chur on the Quaderwiese, from there the route leads through the old town and then turns onto the Chur-Arosa road. At the Arosa junction, go straight towards Sand. Upon reaching Sand, the route leaves the paved road onto a gravel road towards Passugg. In Passugg, the route goes around the building of the beverage manufacturer Passugger and leaves the road again onto an unpaved path. After an ascent, you turn onto a wide gravel path. On the Polenweg it goes to Churwalden. You run through the village of Churwalden (1240 m above sea level) past the post office and Coop, and after the Hotel Hemmi, you turn left. Then begins a longer uphill section to Büel, Foppa. In Foppa (1753 m above sea level) you turn onto a paved road leading towards Parpan. After about 1 km downhill, you leave the road to the right onto a narrow path towards Mittelberg. In Mittelberg, you turn left onto a paved road that leads to Parpan. At the first junction in Parpan (1493 m above sea level), turn right towards the main road; shortly before the main road, turn left and then run parallel to the road uphill to the Hotel Alpina. After the bus stop, turn left. After about 15 m, turn right and after another 10 m turn right again. You then enter a narrow path that leads over roots up to Parpanerhöhe. There you pass a very small lake and then run parallel to the road downhill to Canols; on the right, you can see the large Heidsee. There you cross the main road and run past the kiosk Canols. After a lap to the right around the beautiful Heidsee, you cross the main road at the valley station of the Rothorn cable car. After the underpass, turn sharply right and then run up a slight incline on the sidewalk; after about 100 m, cross the side road at the zebra crossing and go straight into the forest. After about 1.5 km onto a gravel road in the forest, cross a side road and cross the main road at the underpass. Then turn into the finish line at the Lenzerheide schoolhouse.
