Details

Description

The starting point for this option is the train station. On foot, you reach Maran via Eichhörnliweg. A narrow hiking trail leads to Prätschalp. Enjoy the magnificent view over the Rot Tritt to Ochsenalp along the way. After a refreshment at the mountain restaurant, the route continues over Scheidegg to the mid-station of the Arosa-Weisshorn aerial cableway. At this section, a detour to Hauptichopf is worthwhile. Over green meadows, the path goes down to Prätschli. Those who do not want to walk the last section downhill on foot can also take the local bus back to the village from here.

Hidden Gem

Scooters can be rented for the return trip from Ochsenalp to Arosa. This will surely convince your children (from 8 years / 140cm) to join a hike to Ochsenalp.

Equipment

Sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.

Directions

From the train station, you can reach Maran via Eichhörnliweg or by local bus. A hiking trail continues over Prätschalp and Rot Tritt to Ochsenalp. From there, the route descends again over Scheidegg to the mid-station of the Arosa-Weisshorn aerial cableway and further to Prätschli. On foot or by bus, you return to the village.

Directions

Public Transport

From Chur, the Rhaetian Railway runs hourly to Arosa and back. Those who want to start the route directly in Maran or finish in Prätschli can use the local bus on this section.

Travel Information

From Chur, follow the traffic signs to Arosa. To get to Maran, turn right at the beginning of the village, above the gas station, and follow the road for about 1 km.

Parking

Since only a limited number of parking spaces are available in Maran, it is recommended to park in the Ochsenbühl parking garage. This is located after the sports and congress center on the left side and is also very close to a bus stop.
