Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Following the Rhine is always a guarantee of a pleasant time on a bike. Along the water, it is pleasant to stop here and there on its banks to rest and contemplate the natural environment.

Wonderful bike + hike tour on the Haldensteiner Calanda.
Up to the Calandahütte by bike approx. 2 hours. 1500hm away from Haldenstein. After coffee then another 800hm on foot to the Calanda, approx. 2 hours.

We started at Chur train station, heading towards Haldenstein. There, to our surprise, we met three other Glarus riders heading for the same destination, the Calanda Hut.
