Route: We'll initially take a gondola to Brambrüesch, from where we'll start hiking. We'll climb up to Dreibündenstein and then follow the ridge passing through multiple peaks, the highest being Fulaberg (2574m). We'll finish the hike at Piz Scalottas, from where we'll take two chairlifts down into the valley. It will be necessary to buy tickets for the way up and way down (optional: it's also possible to hike all the way down).

Pace: Moderate - fast.

Meeting point: Chur, bottom of the gondola going to Brambrüesch.

End point: Lenzerheide/Lai, Val Sporz bus station. The bus goes every 30 minutes.

How to get there: Train IC 3 to Chur departs from Zurich HB at 7:07. From Chur train station take B11 bus (or just walk a bit).

How to get back: Bus to Lenzerheide, change to bus to Chur, change to train to Zurich.

Weather: The current forecast mentions the possibility of the thunderstorms in the afternoon - that's why we're starting the hike so early. In case thunderstorms do appear, there are multiple points where we can decide to cut the hike short and head directly into the valley. The decision will be made based on the conditions and the predictions on the day of the hike.

What to take: Regular hiking equipment, in particular comfortable shoes (hiking boots or trail running shoes); food - we’ll have picnic lunch somewhere along the way; water; sunscreen; sunglasses; rain jacket.

Disclaimer: I'm not a guide - everyone hikes at their responsibility and risk.
