Details

Description

The level running Ochsenalp panorama cross-country ski trail can be optionally appended as an additional loop to the Prätschalp trail. The approximately 6-kilometer long route (round trip) offers views deep down on the Arosa railway, which winds along the Plessur through the Schanfigg. At the outermost point, you reach the Ochsenalp and can look as far as Chur, the Calanda, and the Tödi. This trail is suitable for both techniques (skating & classic).

Hidden Gem

Enjoy the impressive panorama of the Schanfigg valley and see the rhythmic Arosa line of the Rhaetian Railway. 

Safety Note

Pedestrians and dogs are not allowed on the trail.

Keep to the left, there is two-way traffic.

Directions

The Ochsenalp panorama cross-country ski trail starts at kilometer 5 of the Prätschalp cross-country ski trail and leads towards the mountain restaurant Ochsenalp before returning. The trail is accessible for both classic style and skating.

Directions

Public Transport

The Rhaetian Railway runs hourly from Chur to Arosa (also in the opposite direction). At the Arosa station, the local bus waits for you, which travels towards Maran/Prätschli to the cross-country stop. To reach the Ochsenalp trail, start with the Prätschalp cross-country trail.

Travel Information

From Chur via the winding Arosa road to the valley end in Arosa. At the village entrance, turn right at the gas station and follow Maranerstrasse. After a short drive, you will see the cross-country ski trails on the right. To reach the Ochsenalp panorama trail, start with the Prätschalp cross-country trail.

Parking

Since only a limited number of parking spaces are available near the trails, it is recommended to park your car in the Ochsenbühl parking garage. There is a large sign with various parking options. We recommend the Ochsenbühl parking garage because parking near the trails is limited. The parking garage is directly next to a bus stop, from where the local bus runs towards Maran/Prätschli to the trail start.

More information is available at Arosa Parking.
