Description

The bright blue gondola of the Arosa - Weisshorn cable car takes you to the highest point of the hike right at the beginning. At 2,653m above sea level, an impressive panoramic view awaits you. Even during the descent towards the Sattelhütte, you can let your gaze wander down the valley to Chur again and again. Strengthened by a snack on the sun terrace of the Sattelhütte, the hike now leads into quiet territory, far away from the hustle and bustle and noise, nature shows its most beautiful side. At the Prätschsee lake you get back onto a somewhat larger hiking trail to the Prätschli.
