Culinary tour: Snowshoe pleasure Dreibündenstein

Please note that the tour is only possible if there is enough snow.

The snowshoe tours from Chur's local mountain Brambrüesch over the Dreibündenstein to Feldis and Pradaschier are amongst the most beautiful snowshoe hikes in Graubünden. As route GR 1 (Brambrüesch - Feldis) and GR 2 (Brambrüesch - Pradaschier) these are continuously signposted. The attractive round trip tickets from Chur include all cableway rides as well as the return journey by bus or train back to the Chur.

On the high plateau with the historic Dreibündenstein and its breathtaking panorama is the perfect place for a stopover. With our picnic bag you will not only enjoy the view, but also tasty, regional products.

The ascent from Brambrüesch leads first through idyllic forest sections before at Spundis the view opens up towards Dreibündenstein. With a magnificent view of the mountains and valleys, you hike further up over the Hühnerköpfe and to the highest point on Furggabüel, where a 360° panorama opens up, which extends from the local mountains around Chur, Arosa and Lenzerheide to the Glarus Alps. The overthrust of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tectonic Arena Sardona, which can be seen from here on the opposite Ringelspitz to the Flimser mountains (Segnes, Tschingelhörner), is also very impressive. On the two-part panorama board near Furggabüel you can find the names of the peaks and the Tectonic Arena Sardona. The chair lift Hühnerköpfe - Furggabüel can be used to shorten the ascent. 

The descent then leads from the Dreibündenstein plateau either to Feldis (GR 1) or to Pradaschier (GR 2). In both cases, the return trip by cableways to the valley and by train or bus back to Chur is included.
