Description

The Dörferweg Schanfigg connects the villages of the Schanfigg valley from Chur to Arosa on both sides of the valley for hikers. On this 53 km long (mountain) hiking trail, traditional and authentic village culture comes to life.

The Dörferweg Schanfigg leads through intact and varied landscapes with magnificent views, through meadows and forests, over ravines and past alpine summer farms and last but not least through villages with their characteristic wooden frame buildings, farm and village shops, restaurants, and local inns. The alternation between natural and cultural landscapes can be experienced at every step, for example, the magnificent landscape sections at Gründji- & Frauentobel.

The Dörferweg enriches the range of hiking opportunities in Schanfigg. Thanks to the good connection of the villages to public transport, stages can be shortened and various circular hikes can also be planned, e.g., in connection with the Schanfigger Höhenweg.

Hidden Gem
