Description

The Tschentaneras trail in Castrisch is classic and groomed for skating and about 5 km long. It is centrally located and easily accessible by car and public transport. You can enjoy a beautiful view of the Surselva mountains. The village of Castrisch is located at the entrance of the Ruinaulta, the Rhine Gorge - also known as the "Swiss Grand Canyon". The history of the Ruinaulta began with the huge Flims landslide about 10,000 years ago. The Rhine was dammed and made its way over thousands of years - it thus formed the Ruinaulta.

The trail is only located at 700 meters above sea level and is not always spoiled with snow. Information on snow conditions and the opening of the cross-country ski trails can be found here.

CHF 160.00 for cross-country ski pass Switzerland available at the Castrisch Ski Club
CHF 40.00 for the Tschentaneras trail available at the Castrisch Ski Club
CHF 5.00 for local day passes available at the entrance to the slopes.
