The easiest way to reach the Hörnligrat by bike, and with the least amount of effort, is by taking the Hörnli Express gondola from Innerarosa. From here, you can then head back down to the valley in virtually any direction. The flowing Hörnli Trail back to Arosa is particularly popular. The other trails (which are not designated trails, so be careful of hikes) are also very worthwhile, although some are a bit more challenging (e.g., to Lake Urden, S3).

There are two ways to reach the Parpaner Rothorn: either by taking the cable car or by embarking on a challenging and strenuous hike. If you choose the latter option, you'll need sturdy footwear. Surefootedness and a head for heights are also beneficial on the ascent, ensuring you reach the summit safely. Next to the cable car station, there's also a panoramic restaurant where you can recharge with fine dining after a strenuous hike.

You can reach the 2,653-meter-high summit of the Weisshorn either by taking a strenuous but very worthwhile hike, or by taking the cable car in a very relaxed manner while sitting down. A fantastic view in all directions awaits you at the top.

The Dreibündenstein in Graubünden is an elevation at 2,156 meters above sea level south of the city of Chur and of the mountain Furggabüel, which lies at 2,174 meters above sea level. They are separated only by a 15-meter high saddle and 500 meters distance. The point is not a mountain peak, but a historical site. It was the sole triple border point of the former Free State of the Three Leagues. The original stone from 1722 is exhibited in the Rätisches Museum Chur. The replacement stone from 1915 bears the three coats of arms of the Three Leagues. The Three Leagues included the Grey League with the judicial community of Rhäzüns, the League of the Ten Jurisdictions from Churwalden, and the League of God's House from Ortenstein Castle.
