Together, the village of Arosa and the winter sports resort of Lenzerheide represent the largest connected winter sports area in the Grisons, with 221 kilometres of pistes and 60 kilometres of perfectly groomed cross-country ski trails. But there’s also plenty to discover off the slopes!
ACTIVITIES
Once you see the view outside, there’s no way you can resist the draw of the mountains! The Arosa Lenzerheide ski area has long been recognised as a mecca for winter sports lovers. Whether on two boards or one, we invite you to conquer the slopes against magnificent mountain backdrops. A variety of blue, red and black pistes guarantee that every member of the family will find the perfect run.
ACTIVITIES
Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or snowboard: what will you try for the first time this winter? Whatever you choose, the Arosa snow sports school will be by your side to help you become a true pro. Fans of freestyle can put their skills to the test at the Arosa Snowpark, which offers a range of activities and areas for every skill level. And there’s no need to worry about equipment, either: our partner Gisler Sport offers everything you could need from a handy on-site location at the Valsana Hotel.
ACTIVITIES
Skiing not your thing? Fancy mixing things up? In Arosa, the possibilities are endless – from sledding, hockey and ice skating to snurfing with hotel director Claudio. Want to discover the snowy forests on a self-guided hike or snowshoe walk? Just ask: we’ll be delighted to share our insider tips. You can also sample seasonal culinary highlights at one of the many traditional mountain huts or fine dining restaurants.
ACTIVITIES
We believe that people should never stop playing. To celebrate this philosophy, we've curated a special selection of activities aimed at experiencing the Arosa winter through play. Learn new skills and crafts, listen to fascinating stories and find out more about centuries-old traditions as part of our Moving Mountains holiday programme.
ACTIVITIES
After an adrenaline-packed day in the mountains, nothing beats a spot of pure relaxation – and where better to do it than the 800-square-meter Valsana Spa? Float in the pool as you soak up views of the spectacular snow-covered mountains, then select an individually tailored treatment from our holistic spa menu to soothe weary muscles and prepare you for the next day’s action.
Experiences
On this Curated Adventure, we greet the sun with a sunrise walk and reflect on the miracle of another new day. After making our way into the still-dark mountains, we take sledges to arrive at the Bergkirchli and enjoy unbeatable views of the sunrise with delicious cups of tea.
Experiences
The mighty, snow-covered forests of Arosa are a mystical sight to behold all year round. On this evening torchlight hike, we light up the darkness and head through the snow to The Valsana Hotel to enjoy a local wine tasting session.
Experiences
What else is there to do when snow hits the ground but to get outside and build a snowman! These friendly souls are nature’s very own stress ball. Let your creativity run wild as you create your temporary work of art.
Experiences
Also known as ‘Kubb’, Viking chess is a popular multi-player game that is all about skill and marksmanship. Swiss snowball chess is our very own winter version. Who can throw their snowball closest to the target and take the victory?
Experiences
Each step brings something new as we soak in the idyll on a peaceful winter walk. Our footprints trace our path through the snow all the way to the Tschuggen platform, our destination. Once there, we enjoy a companionable campfire with punch and tasty treats.
Experiences
Sweet dreams are made of cheese – and nowhere is this truer than in Switzerland. This year, we move our classic cheesy event outdoors into nature. As we embark on a snowshoe hike through the snow-covered forests and slopes of the Prätschli, we’ll search for a suitable place to enjoy fondue al fresco.
Experiences
Ice bathing not only offers an unforgettable burst of adrenaline, but real health-promoting effects. Our experts are on hand to guide you through a beginner’s ice bathing session at the ‘Eisbadi Arosa’ at Untersee – a one-ofa-kind experience with lasting benefits for the immune system.
Experiences
This Empowering Expedition honours the traditional Swiss winter sport of sledging. We take the Tschuggen Express high up into the mountains for a speedy descent, then the race is on! May the best and fastest win!
Rest
Arosa enchants all who visit it with breath-taking mountains and unspoilt nature. Alongside a selection of well-trodden winter hiking trails, this climatic spa resort also offers places for quiet reflection.
