Mountain Summit Chur

Rote Platte 1506m

Markant: Die Rote Platte von unten gesehen
Aussicht von der Roten Platte
The view from the top of the Rot Platte is breathtaking.

Description

A prominent vantage point that stands out from the middle of the fabled Scaläratobel ravine and is clearly visible as reddish peak from the Chur side. The summit is at 1,506 m and is part of Montalin massif, the main summit of which is 760 meters above the Rote Platte. The second half of the hiking route is pretty steep and the ascent can be quite slippery after it has rained or snowed. The final climb to the summit and the summit itself are exposed and are only advisable for sure-footed hikers with a head for heights. But the view from the summit to Chur and the Rhine Valley is simply breath-taking.

Mountain Summit Untervaz

Calanda 2805m

Calanda 2805m
The Calanda is our Darling and keeps the bad weather away from Chur. That's why the heraldic animal, the ibex, also loves this area. The climbers on the summit toast each other with tapped Calanda Beer.

Description

The Calanda is located northwest of the capital of Graubünden, Chur, and consists of four peaks: Taminser Calanda (2,390 m), Felsberger Calanda (2,697 m), Haldensteiner Calanda (2,805 m, highest point of the city of Chur), and Berger Calanda (2,309 m). It is part of Chur just as its horns are part of an ibex. An animal, by the way, that you might come across on the lower slopes of the Calanda massif if you're lucky. The Swiss Alpine Club SAC's Calandahütte at 2,073 m, which is easily accessible on foot or by bicycle, is popular outing destination. It is the starting point for the hike to the Haldensteiner Calanda and many other exciting tours.

Blick auf den Mittenberg und die Stadt Chur
A popular destination for walkers, hikers, joggers and bikers with a magnificent panoramic view.

Description

The Mittenberg is an Alp to the east of the city of Chur. It is idyllically situated on a terrace in a big forest clearing. The Mittenberg offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Chur Rhine valley, the Grison mountains, and far beyond. No wonder that it is a popular outing destination for walkers, hikers, joggers, and bikers. It is easy to cover the 500 meters of altitude from the city to the Mittenberg on a gravel road or numerous forest trails. Once at the top, there's just one thing to do: sit back and enjoy the view. A barbecue area and spring water from the fountain are available.

Mountain Summit Chur

Fürhörnli 1888m

Aussicht vom Fürhörnli auf die Stadt Chur
Fürhörnli von unten (Mittenberg)
A breathtaking view from the top over the city of Chur and the surrounding Rhine Valley.

Description

The Fürhörnli juts on 1'888 m like a balcony out into the abyss and offers a splendid panorama view on the Alpine City of Chur and the surrounding Rhine valley. The branch-off to the Fürhörnli peak is not marked, but the tracks left from the hiking route are well recognizable. Along the tree-covered ridge you reach the Fürhörnli in a few steps. Be careful on the small and exposed peak-balcony (accession only recommended for people free from giddiness).
