Parpaner Rothorn (short)

Trail Running

My second time at Parpaner Rothorn, I took a different route, choosing the shorter FHGR Trail Run, which saves 7 km and 400 meters of ascent.

The route should have been 26 km, but for some reason, I lost the path quite often. You might want to download the official GPX data for a cleaner path.

The trail was a bit more crowded than two years ago, and unlike my previous visit, I didn’t see any marmots on the way down. The weather was super windy, just like the first time, so I guess this spot is particularly prone to wind.


Waypoints:

  • Lantsch/Lenz, Biathlon Arena (1387m)
  • Bergrestaurant Scharmoin (7.9km, 1902m)
  • Hörnli Berg - Hörnlihütte Arosa (14.2km, 2493m)
  • Panoramarestaurant Rothorngipfel (22km, 2856m)
  • Alp Sanaspan (26.6km, 2000m)
  • Lantsch/Lenz, Biathlon Arena (1387m)
