Description
Geheimtipp
Feed the squirrels with unpeeled nuts - so the rodents have to use their teeth and sharpen them, which is important for the animals.
Ausrüstung
Good footwear and weather-appropriate clothing is recommended.
The trail is only passable with the JST or with a normal wheelchair.
The JST Mountain Drive - ideal companion for independent excursions. Arosa Bergbahnen AG (stationed at the middle station of the Arosa-Weisshorn cable car) has two models that can be rented as required. The wheelchairs are taken from the middle station and
