The current snow situation is not sufficient to put the lifts from Brambrüesch into operation for actual winter sports. The lift operators are making a virtue of necessity and are nevertheless starting the winter season with the two lower lifts (Chur-Känzeli/Känzeli-Brambrüesch) and commencing daily operations for mountain bikers, winter hikers and snowshoe hikers. The freeride trails of the Alpenbikepark Chur are completely snow-free. In addition to the usual protective equipment, bikers are advised to bring plenty of warm clothing. The bike trails will remain open as long as they are free of snow.
