Praden - Joch - Parpan (13)

The two ascents from Usser Praden and from Inner Praden unite just above the village in the flank of the Sagentobel. On a steady incline, follow the old Prader Alpweg via "Dürreggen" to the "Untersäss", the lower Prader Alpstufe. A little above the alpine hut, turn right (signpost Rangg–Joch) and follow the road in a westerly direction. After about 600 m, a path lane branches off to the left of the road and overcomes the steep, wooded northern flank of the yoke in a pleasantly rising zigzag course in the Rangg Forest. After leaving the forest, you are now in the upper alpine step of Praden and reach the viewpoint of the "Joch" in about 15 minutes, which offers a magnificent view of Chur and the Schanfigg. From the viewpoint you descend in a few minutes to the Berghaus, where you start the last stage for the descent to Parpan, Churwalden via "Foppa".
