Description

This hike starts leisurely on the Hörnli, the summit that you can easily reach with the Hörnli-Express. The start is comfortable and slightly downhill beneath the Plattenhorn. Afterwards, the trail leads above the Carmenna hut through a magnificent landscape, with a constant view of the panorama over the lakes and houses in Arosa. Then the path climbs steeply up over the Carmennapass towards Arosa Weisshorn. After a final steep ascent to the Weisshorn summit, a magnificent 360-degree view awaits over the entire Schanfigg down to Chur and up to the highlands. The Hörnli hut and the 360° panorama restaurant at the Weisshorn summit offer tasty refreshments and culinary highlights.

Hidden Gem

At the Carmennapass there is a wooden box containing the legend "Der Gottlobstein beim Carmennapass". An exciting opportunity to be transported back to earlier times.
