one loop between Rothorn and Weisshorn when you are on the Bike2Ride trip. Take the Hörnli gondola up and exit to the left, start riding down on the ridge, natural hiking trail, some switchbacks in the end. push up to the lake and continue on the right side of the lake on gravel (or stay on the left side and ride the other trail down again to Arosa)
