The resort’s location at the head of a remote valley above Chur and on the Obersee Lake makes Arosa one of the most picturesque resorts in Switzerland.

With two main parts to the resort village and extensive skiing over the col in Lenzerheide, this is an exciting Swiss destination that flies under the radar of most British skiers. The skiing below the towering Weisshorn is mostly east facing, making this a great area for early morning turns. We’d then recommend following the sunshine and taking the impressive Urdenbahn cable car across the Lenzerheide, which opens up a vast array of terrain.

Pros and cons

Traditional but lively resort with good hotels and restaurants
Vast linked ski area with neighbouring Lenzerheide
East-facing aspect makes this the ideal spot for morning skiing

High winds can close the upper lifts and link to Lenzerheide
Few major challenges for experts
No real trees to escape to in bad weather

On the Slopes

Absolute beginners will really enjoy the sunny nursery slopes in Innerarosa, with great progression on offer on the gentle runs at Tschuggen. The rest of the local ski area is then one big playground for intermediates upwards – our favourite routes are the sweeping reds off the Hörnli Express. Confident intermediates should be able to make the most of the link across the Lenzerheide, via the Urdenbahn and then the convenient chairlift across the road at Parpan.

More advanced skiers and riders have a big playground at their disposal if there has been fresh snow, but note that if the skies haven’t been dropping the white stuff there is a relatively limited number of challenges. The best area for off piste is served by the new Brüggerhorn 6-pack chairlift. The new chair has significantly improved access to this steep sector of the resort.

In the Resort

There are two main parts to Arosa, both of which are equally convenient. The main part of town surrounds the Obersee Lake and extends up to the higher satellite of Innerarosa. Hotels can be found throughout and whether you’re looking for 5* luxury or a cosy, family-run B&B, Arosa has both. There are some nice bars and restaurants in town and up on the hill, the Carmennahütte is a very popular spot for après ski sessions.

Away from the pistes, Arosa is home to a very good network of winter walking trails, none more so than the epic ridgeline route down from the Weisshorn and you can even walk all the way to and from après at the Carmennahütte. The outdoor ice rink is popular and you can try your hand at curling or ice hockey.

Getting to Arosa

Access via Chur is very easy from Zürich and Basel is a good alternative. The drive from the former takes around 2.5 hours (add half an hour if you’re catching the train) and the latter is around three hours away by car (or four by train).

Zürich airport: 2.5 hours (driving) or 3 hours (train)
Basel airport: 3 hours (driving) or 4 hours (train)
Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (569 miles)

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 15/04

Winter returns to Switzerland, especially in the west of the country that gets its first really dump of the season (!)

Unsettled weather moves in over the course of this week, slowly dragging the freezing line down from 3,000m to closer to 2,000m. This will then see snow falling on elevations above this, including as much as 130cm possible (one hundred and thirty centimetres) on Wednesday alone. All told, midweek snowfall will bring around 2m to most areas above 2,000m in the west and southwest of the region.

A brief pause in the idiocy then moves in on Friday, before a number bank of snow arrive son Saturday; this will see temperatures plummet as the freezing line drops down to 500m at times, and another foot of snow is possible, this time falling across most elevations. Eastern regions of Switzerland will see this snow, too, with around a foot-and-a-half falling across most elevations as the freezing line drops.

This unsettled and snowy weather will continue to fall as the new week begins.
