Moderate Hiking Trails in Grisons

We track 251 routes that match this search in Grisons. They average 5.5 km and 110 m (361 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 54.7 km.

That is 72 percent of the 350 routes we map in Grisons. They are shorter than the local average, 5.5 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, 110 m (361 ft) against 432 m (1,417 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Moderate routes are the sweet spot for most regular walkers: enough climbing to feel like a proper day out, never enough to turn into an ordeal. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
