Relaxed hike through the wintery forest to the viaduct

easy

Distance 7.6 km

The trail passes along the tracks through the forest from Arosa down the Schanfigg valley towards Litzirüti. Shortly after Litzirüti the path descents to the shore of the Plessur river from where you have an incredible view on the viaduct.
