Details

Description

Behind the Arosa train station at the Obersee, take the Weisshorn gondola and get off at the middle station. There you will move into the all-terrain JST Multidrive wheelchair. An employee of the Arosa Bergbahnen will instruct you. 

From the middle station, turn right and after a few meters you will reach the Arosa Bear Sanctuary directly. The visitor platform and the adventure trail are easily accessible by wheelchair. After watching the bears, you go back to the Arlenwald trail. On the way to Prätschalp, the view wanders to the alpine settlement of Medergen, the Weissfluhjoch and the high valleys of Sapün and Fondei. The Senntum Prätsch, which is now being reached, has a usable area of 250 hectares and is owned by the municipality of Chur. Every year, about 100 cows are summered here by Chur farmers. Once you have arrived at the Red Tritt viewpoint, it is worth making a stopover. The plain is particularly attractive thanks to the magnificent view that offers itself over Arosa and the majestic mountain panorama. There is also a fire pit here. After that, you can take the same route back to the middle station. Or you can combine the route with the Squirrel Trail and get back to the village. 

Ausrüstung

The trail is only passable with the JST.

The JST Mountain Drive - ideal companion for independent excursions. An all-terrain electric wheelchair specially developed for natural mountain hiking trails, green gravel, steps and cobblestones.  Thanks to two powerful electric motors and the robust design of the wheelchair, couped hiking trails, steep inclines and even long natural surface routes can be easily navigated.

Purchase & return at the middle station.
