Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Stage 1
Davos Klosters - Sapün - Langwies
The Parsennbahn takes you up to the Weissfluh summit. There you start with a steep descent to Sapün. Here we recommend a coffee break in the Heimeli. Tip: While checking the train connection in Langwies, the trip with the train to Arosa is included (RhB 2nd class). From Sapün follow the prepared path (note multiple use).
Stage 2
Langwies - Arosa - Tschiertschen
From Langwies we continue to the Hörnli-Express in Arosa. The train departs every hour at the 48th minute from Langwies. Now you are in the snow sports area Arosa Lenzerheide. The gondola takes you up to Hörli at 2511 metres above sea level, where the next unique, unsecured freeride descent awaits you. As an alternative and on the safe side, you can reach Lenzerheide directly with the Urdenbahn and on the official slopes. From the Hörnli, experienced freeriders ride past the snow-covered Urdensee into the challenging ghost slope. Past the Urdenalphütte you continue in the direction of Löser and Clüs. From there a piste leads to the Tschiertschen valley station.
Stage 3
Tschiertschen - Parpan - Lenzerheide
With the two chair lifts in Tschiertschen you reach the Hühnerköpfe, where you ski on the piste to the valley station of the Jochalp. Arrived at the top with the drag lift, you can eat at the Restaurant Jochalp and enjoy a wonderful view over Chur and the Rhine Valley from the vantage point. Freshly fortified, the unsecured descent continues through the Schwarzwald towards Foppa and over the Ausser- and Innerberg to Parpan.
The ski bus takes you to Lenzerheide (included in the ticket). The Postbus will take you to Davos (Important: Postbus not included in the fare).
