Arosa walks

Circular from Prätschlistrasse via Alter Kirchliweg, where you will need to push your bike. The route then follows the Mittelbünden Panoramaweg to Schwellisee. Take the path to the last Arole (caution: steep slope) and then return via the other side of the lake.

The route involves climbing up to the lake and walking round it, with the option of continuing on to the Ravensburger Hütte (where food is available). The path climbs steeply through the forest, passing under a tarmac road: just after this, it emerges and the climb resumes immediately to the right, quite steeply. The slope levels out afterwards. As you approach the lake, after passing a fence, you’ll come to a farm: watch out for the herd of cows – there may be a young bull. Once you reach the lake, you can either take the track on the right and continue to the mountain hut, or return via the other side: there are several steep sections, but they’re safe.
