Description

In Arosa, you start heading towards Ochsenalp. The route goes along forest roads via Prätschalp to Rote Tritt. The view is unique and always invites a photo stop. With gentle descents through Ochsenalp, you soon reach the junction leading to the village of Tschiertschen or to the Churer Joch.

The onward ride on a fast forest path descends to Molinis. Once there, a continuous final climb of about 800 meters via Litzirüti and the reservoir leads back to Arosa. A beautiful path mostly in the forest provides pure bike atmosphere and challenges tired legs again until the finish.
