The Hönrli-Express cable car takes you comfortably up to the Hörnligrat, which is rich in views. From there you start on foot through the Urden valley or take the Urden cable car in comfort. On the Urdenfürggli, the path first leads steeply down before the varied ascent begins through a gallery, past rock faces, with wide views to Lenzerheide, to the Parpaner Rothorn. From the Parpaner Rothorn you can either take the gondola to Lenzerheide or hike the same way back to Arosa.
This panoramic hike leads from a peak in Arosa, to a peak in Lenzerheide, a unique experience!
