Details

Description

The hike starts at Strandbad Untersee in Arosa. From here, the path leads along the Isel stream deeper into the wild valley (Welschtobel). The slopes on the sides rise steeply and attentive hikers can repeatedly observe deer, ibex, and chamois. At the Ramozhütte (a non-serviced SAC hut), you can rest wonderfully and enjoy the sun before the path leads towards Erzhornsattel. From here, sure-footedness and a head for heights are required. Erzhornsattel is the highest point of the hike and the view towards Arosa and the Schanfigg is breathtaking. The descent requires concentration, the path is narrow and steep. Once this passage is overcome, the path winds along the valley floor to Älplisee, where you can soak your tired feet and take a break. During the summer, you will often meet sheep here that peacefully graze on the fresh herbs. From Älplisee, the last part leads past the crystal-clear Schwellisee back to Arosa.

Hidden Gem

An overnight stay at the Ramozhütte is an unforgettable experience. (Self-catering hut, reservation required)
