Mittelbünden-Panoramaweg Stage 2
EPIC (5.1/10)Davos → Arosa
An epic alpine undertaking — the Mittelbünden-Panoramaweg Stage 2 packs 39.8 km and 1,138 m of climbing into a 10h 36min day. Running from Davos to Arosa, the trail spans an elevation range of 1,550 m to 2,402 m.
The route breaks into 10 segments. In contrast, the 20.3 km from Tschugga to Arosa is much gentler and makes for a welcome recovery section.
With 88% of the route below 15% gradient, strong trail runners can maintain a good rhythm for much of the distance. Some pitches hit 42% gradient, so trekking poles are strongly recommended.
Budget roughly 6,149 kcal of energy expenditure and 6.4 L of water. Aim for 60–90 g of carbs per hour to avoid bonking on the longer climbs. No confirmed water sources along the route — carry all the water you need.
Alpine route. Usually accessible from June to October. Early and late season may have snow patches above 2200m.
