Haldensteiner Calanda Hike – From Tamins via Kunkels Pass

The Haldensteiner Calanda is one of the most rewarding mountain hikes in Eastern Switzerland. Starting in Tamins, the trail climbs steadily through forests and alpine meadows to the scenic Kunkel Pass before continuing to the 2,805-meter summit of Haldensteiner Calanda.

The ascent is demanding, especially with achilles tendinitis, but incredibly rewarding, offering ever-expanding views over the Rhine Valley, the Bündner Herrschaft, and the surrounding Alpine peaks. From the summit, a breathtaking 360-degree panorama awaits, stretching across Graubünden and beyond.

The route finishes with a long descent to Haldenstein, making it a fantastic point-to-point adventure that combines historic mountain landscapes, panoramic ridges, and a true alpine summit experience. For hikers seeking a challenging day in the Swiss Alps, this route is an unforgettable choice.
