================

If you want a pretty spectacular train ride that is not too far from
Zürich you could go to Chur and from there up to Arosa. The train
slowly climbs up a narrow valley – along the valley side.

We drove up there on 2026-07-17:

Looking back we see a forested valley Looking ahead we see more
mountains We just crossed a bridge that’s under construction Up
ahead there’s a pretty famous bridge

Visiting the bear sanctuary in Arosa on 2026-07-18 and then going for
a walk. 😍

Entrance to a bear sanctuary with clouded mountains Elevated walkway
over the bear territory Alpine meadows and mountains

Some bear pictures from the sanctuary. There are currently four bears
at the sanctuary.

trunk Bear lying on its belly, head between its claws Bear head from
above with the great claws visible

Warg energy!

Bear sleeping on its side, shedding its winter hair and therefore
looking patchy, with exposed fur rather blond and the legs much darker
looking.

Then we went up to Hörnli (the pass towards Lenzerheide). We went up
and down by cable car because the weather is very mercurial, at the
moment. Rain and sunshine keep chasing each other.

2026-07-10 we went on a small walk from Bärenland via Maraner
Hauptji, Gender (‽), Ober Sandboda, Scheidegg, Ober Prätschsee,
Prätschalp, Maran, Eichhörnliweg, Arosa – with a lot of animal hand
feeding at the end: squirrels, blue tits, coal tits, great tits, and
spotted nutcracker. We even saw a great spotted woodpecker. Ao nice! 😍
