While you are walking in the region you may see people paragliding - there are several 'starting pads' on the Parsenn.

The Parsenn trails can be enjoyed on two wheels - with rental available locally.

Those with freeride experience can tackle the 6km descent from the Gotschna middle station to Klosters. With over 200 banked curves, jumps and waves this one for the thrill seekers.
