Description
The Ochsenalp circuit is an easy tour with a breathtaking view into the Schanfigg. And it also includes easy single tracks along nature trails and through forest areas. The tour starts by the Obersee in Arosa. The route runs alongside the lake across the Waldfestwiese and then, after a brief climb, joins the hiking trail on the right heading for the «Langwieser Aussicht».
A single track leads to the forest road which continues all the way to the Ochsenalp. Initially there is a longish and steady ascent which then leads into a stretch characterised by a succession of fun and gentle ups and downs. The restaurant at the Ochsenalp is the perfect place to take an unhurried break.
A brief, steeper passage then leads to the Rot Tritt from where you can take in the gorgeous view of the Schanfigg Valley. Then you continue at a leisurely pace by the Upper Prätschsee through beautiful countryside swarming with alpine roses and gentians towards Prätschli from where you return to Arosa at a faster pace.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
