Description

Sorry dear Botond, but I'd like to do the Via Alpina in the correct order :-)

And so — how about going to Chur?

Make sure to read the description of the route on Hiking Buddies and/or on Outdooractive.

As usual on my hikes, I will go to a restaurant. As it's Chur, it will be the Franziskaner Restaurant to get lovely Capuns.


Note: This is also "crossposted" on Meetup at zürich fun indoor & outdoor Activities and  100 Days of Hiking for Outdoor Addicts!. It's more than sufficient to signup in only one group :)
Good to know

Equipment

· Hiking poles: STRONGLY Suggested
· Proper boots
· Maybe layers of clothes
· Sun protection
· Water: something to drink — about 2l. There are not many fountains along the way.
· Picnic: I'll aim to have a break about every 6km. And in the middle we'll have a break for "lunch".



Public transportation

From Zürich in the morning

Meeting point: Meet in the train IC 3 leaving from platform 13. I will come from Winterthur and rush to the platform. I'll try to reserve seats. As soon as I know where the seats are, I'll update — this will be on the evening before, after 20:00.

  1. 07:38 → 08:52, IC 3, Zürich HB - Gl. 13 → Chur - Gl. 9

Back from CHUR at the evening

It very much depends on the time we arrive at the destination. There are plenty of connections.

  1. 20:08 → 21:22, IC 3, Chur - Gl. 9 → Zürich HB - Gl. 6

Hey y'all. I optimized the train journeys a bit, while I was ordering the seat reservations. We'll now start a tiny bit later at 07:38 with the IC 3 and return a bit earlier, leaving Chur at 20:08. Again with the IC 3. Return time might be later, still, if we spend more time in the restaurant.

I went ahead and reserved a few seats in the restaurant Franziskaner. Would be cool if you could let me know whether you're joining or not.

I had a look at the weather forecast - it's not looking awesome. The whole week seems to be quite rainy. I'll post another comment on Tuesday evening informing about further steps.

It's a go! 😀 Most likely, at least. According to srf meteo, there's hardly any rain on Saturday (only 0.2mm at 17:00). So, unless the forecast turns quite bad, I'll go.

Note that you should expect some decent amount of snow at the higher altitudes. We did a hike on Sunday in this area (https://www.hiking-buddies.com/routes/events/9489/) and had to cross some sketchy snow patches. The highest point we got to was 1940m and above that there seemed to be quite a lot of snow. I think https://photos.app.goo.gl/4iLDrCd7DPgSt4487 is a picture of the area where you're going.

Due to this, we will go a slightly different route. we will now try to go up to Montalin on the T4 and continue there - if possible. I first planned to go down. If it turns out to not be possible to go all the way up, there'll be alternatives.

Platform 13, front most carriage in IC 3 — that's where our reserved seats will be tomorrow morning.
