Description

The circular route offers not only scenic highlights but also cultural aspects, passing by intact Walser settlements and allowing you to reflect on life in earlier times. From Arosa, it goes via the reservoir to Litzirüti. From there, it is advisable to take the first altitude meters easy, as the path to Medergen is long and steep. But already from afar, the sun-browned houses greet you, and no disruptive building spoils the idyllic image of this Walser settlement. The ideal place for a short break in the cozy inn "Alpenrose".

Freshly strengthened, it is easier to ride to Seebjiboden and you can enjoy spectacular views into the Sapüner valley and on the massive Chüpfeflue. On the demanding singletrail to Heimeli, very good biking technique is required. The trail leads over narrow, sometimes steep sections that make the heart of passionate bikers beat faster. Upon arrival in Chüfen, a longer descent to Langwies awaits. On forest roads, you can comfortably cruise 500 meters down and enjoy the view into the Schanfigg valley.

After crossing the Plessur, the final climb awaits. In the first kilometers uphill in the quiet forest, you reach Litzirüti, where you join the known route toward reservoir – Arosa.
