Thanks to its renowned ski school and excellent child facilities, Arosa is an ideal choice for families. There is also plenty to entertain non-skiers. Why not take a horse drawn sleigh ride or follow one of the wide choice of prepared, marked walking paths? All of these are within the ski area allowing everyone to meet up in the mountain restaurants. When there is a full moon (or on Saturday evenings when the piste is floodlight) guests can go night skiing. In the town there is a good choice of either casual stüblis or more sophisticated bars. The resort also has a casino complex which includes a cinema, nightclub and bar. The road from Chur ends in Arosa so there is no through traffic. If you are planning to drive – the road from Chur has 360 bends - understandably most of our guests choose the rail journey!

Nearly all of the skiing is above the tree line and there is an efficient network of runs connecting Arosa's two ski areas. With plenty of wide runs it is ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers.

The highest point of the Weisshorn is reached by a two stage cable car. Tschuggen, the mid station is where most of the beginners’ slopes are situated. It is one of the main focal points for the runs with lifts fanning out to both the Hörnli and the Bruggerhorn. The Hörnli area (which is also served by gondolas from Innerarosa) has a couple of black runs though Arosa does not offer much in the way of truly challenging skiing.

Arosa is, however, a pleasure for families, beginners and intermediates. The wide open pistes are uncrowded and non-skiers can easily meet up with skiers for lunch in one of the 8 mountain restaurants.

If you feel like a change from the norm then there are plenty of choices on offer. Why not try snowshoe hiking? No experience is necessary and you can set off on your own on a recommended trail? For the less adventurous there are guided hikes. Sledge runs are great fun too and there are three prepared runs in Arosa - the longest is 2.8km!
