Easy Hiking Trails in Grisons

25 routes in Grisons qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 3.0 km and 67 m (220 ft) of ascent.

That is 7 percent of the 350 routes we map in Grisons. They are shorter than the local average, 3.0 km against 13.0 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 67 m (220 ft) against 432 m (1,417 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Easy routes keep both distance and climbing modest, so they work for a first day in a new area, for family groups, or for a half day when the weather is uncertain. Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area.
