Description

This family-friendly hike focuses on the impressive natural diversity around Arosa. The route from Arosa station via the Langwies viewpoint to Ochsenalp is especially suitable if you are out with a pushchair. Along the way, there are repeatedly beautiful views of the Schanfigg and the Chur Rhine Valley.

The starting point is right at Arosa station. From there, the path leads past Obersee and the rope park into the sheep forest. The pleasantly flowing forest path offers plenty of shade and invites you to take a leisurely walk.

A small 5-minute detour also allows you to visit the Langwies viewpoint – a worthwhile stop with a magnificent panorama.

Then it continues through the beautiful forests of Arosa, with frequent open views of the valley. The destination of the hike is the cozy Ochsenalp, where you can relax with a refreshment.

The return route is along the same path back to the village.

Directions

The hike starts directly at Arosa station. From here, you follow the path along the Obersee and pass the Arosa rope park before gently ascending into the shady sheep forest. The wide forest path is pleasant to walk on and offers small clearings with nice views along the way.

After about 20 minutes, you have the option to make a short detour (about 5 minutes) to the Langwies viewpoint – a rewarding viewpoint with impressive valley views. The branch is not suitable for pushchairs as the path has roots and stones. You can leave the pushchair by the roadside.

Back on the main path, the hike continues through the varied forest landscape of Arosa, with occasional views of the Schanfigg. After about 1.5 hours, you reach Ochsenalp, where a cozy stopover is possible.

The return route is the same way back to Arosa.
