Chörbschhorn
Description
Ideally, the tour starts on the Weissfluhjoch with a descent via the rocky path to the Strelapass. From the Strelapass, a single trail rides over several steps to the Chörbschhorn. If you want to reach the summit with its beautiful panoramic views, you will have to accept a short but challenging push section. The descent leads from the refuge on a singletrail over the ridge to Stafelalp, where you follow the signposted mountain bike route downhill. Where the trail turns into an alpine road in a bend, you leave the official route and take the single trail, which continues downhill in the fall line. This finally takes you to the main road near Frauenkirch, which you follow to the valley station of the Rinerhorn cable car. The gondola lift takes you up, and from the mountain station a moderately ascending alpine trail rides up to Äbirügg, the starting point of the brilliant final descent. The trail descent runs along the ridge through the steep forest to Heidboden and finally to the little road into the Sertig valley. The signposted route takes you back to Davos.

It’s always beautiful and varied. Magnificent scenery, especially once you’ve left the ski area with its many scars around the Weissfluhjoch. The traverse to the Chörbschhorn is a pleasure to hike. We really liked the Chörbschhorn Trail. A lunch break at the rustic Staffelalp is definitely preferable to the fast-food restaurant at the Rinerhorn mountain station, which seems to be stuck in the ’80s. The subsequent descent down to the valley floor is also varied, with a steady but predictable mix of flowing trails, root-covered sections, and rocky passages (here’s a correction to my comment from 2020—back then, we’d simply taken the wrong descent a few meters past the fast-food restaurant; the correct one is about 10 minutes further on at the picnic area, where the road ends).
We rode the trail today. From the Weissfluhjoch down to the Strelapass, the scenery is breathtaking, and it breaks a biker’s heart to see the ski slopes bare in the summer. From there, the trail climbs steadily—sometimes easy, sometimes very challenging, but generally all rideable. I really enjoyed the uphill trail. The surrounding landscape is magnificent and deserted. Once you reach the highest point, you can hike up to the Chörbschhorn to admire the 360° panoramic view, the silence, and the majestic peaks all around.
On the Chörbschhorn Trail, you quickly notice that it’s been built: not too steep and with a good mix of turns and technical sections. It’s not quite my cup of tea, but everyone else really enjoyed it. It’s worth stopping at Stafelalp. The alp has its own charm and offers excellent food as well as a beautiful view of the valley. The “Gadenstadt Shortcut” is rideable in the upper section, but further down it becomes rough, root-strewn, and challenging—not for beginners. 🙂
On the Rinerhorn side, the Äbirügg Trail is interesting and easy to ride. The lower section, “Äbirügg Bottom,” is more challenging, rougher, and steeper—but definitely interesting.
Bottom line: The tour was well worth it—both in terms of riding and the views and enjoyment.
Did the tour on 19.07.2020. Renovated rocky path and the entire tour via Strelapass and Chörbschhornhütte down to Frauenkirch easily rideable and beautiful. However, the second part from the Rinerhornbahn was not worth it. In any case, you can't call it brilliant in 2020. The cow pasture in the upper section is boggy and peppered with cattle footprints. In the forest, the trail is average, especially as you soon reach the road = boring.
tralala
Checked 2018
According to information from the Davos mountain railroads, the rocky trail between the Weissfluhjoch and the Strelapass is being dismantled due to the risk of collapse. The trail is expected to remain completely closed until the end of August 2019.
