At the Churer Joch, at an altitude of around 2,000 meters, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the valley all the way to Chur and, of course, the peaks behind you. There's also a mountain restaurant, the Jochalp. It will be open Tuesday to Sunday in summer 2025, starting July 9. It's the last place to stop for refreshments on the way toward the Parpaner Schwarzhorn or Rothorn, so if it's open, sit down, enjoy the view, and take a break.

Hiking

Churer Joch
The Churer Joch is a beautiful vantage point located between the Alpine town of Chur and the Lenzerheide region. Accessible on foot or, very popularly, by mountain bike, it offers sweeping views of the Calanda massif above Chur, Lenzerheide, and the Arosa mountain range.
