Maran training trail 2 km

On a scenic high plateau above the Obersee, nestled between Weisshorn, Prätsch, and Litzirüti, lies Alp Maran. The center of the settlement, which once consisted of a few individual farms, is the golf hotel with its 18-hole golf course. This is one of the highest golf courses in Europe. In winter, cross-country skiers make their rounds here. Gliding over the open, slightly undulating golf terrain, skiers enjoy a beautiful view of the Arosa mountain region and the Schanfigg valley with its original Walser villages. Training at Maran starts immediately with two short descents before it climbs moderately and then continues almost flat. In the last third, you pass the well-known Alpengarten Maran, which is now under a blanket of snow. The ETH Zurich show garden, with over 100 rare potato varieties from the Pro Specie foundation’s collection, also includes experimental fields for fodder crops as well as about 500 container plants. Afterwards, there is an opportunity to stop for a break – or a sunbath. The Maran training trail is fully sunny from January until April.
