Tschiertschen - Urdensee - Hörnli (03)

From the village centre (1343 m.a.s..M) you climb over the Oberdorf, the "Bödem" and the "Clüs" as well as the "Alpbach" (1576 m.a.s..M) to the junction into the Urdental at the "Bleiswald". After the somewhat steeper ascent through the "Oberwald" and the "Schafalp" you reach the Urder Alpweg again (1853 m above sea level.M). Over this you reach the alp "Inner Urden" (1974 m.a.s.l.M) and after overcoming the steep step of the so-called "Geisterhang" to the beautiful, legendary "Urdensee" (2249 m.a.s..M), which invites you to linger longer!

Now two marked footpaths continue (north or south of the "Urdensee"). The northern path is a bit steeper, but offers wonderful deep views of the lake. Both paths take you to the "Hörnlihütte" (2513 m above sea level.M, mountain restaurant) in about the same time.

From the Hörnlihütte you can take the gondola to Innerarosa or on foot on one of the various hiking routes via the "Carmennahütte" (2134 m above sea level) and LAW middle station (2015 m above sea level) to Arosa (1739 m above sea level) or, directly or via "Älplisee" (2156 m above sea level) and "Schwellisee" (1933 m above sea level), to Innerarosa.

The descent from the «Hörnlihütte» to Tschiertschen on the described ascent route takes about 2 1/4 hours.
