Overview
A gentle, sunny bowl linked to Lenzerheide.
Arosa sits at the head of a sunny valley and links by cable car to Lenzerheide, making a surprisingly large combined area. It is a relaxed, family friendly resort with reliable snow given its altitude.

The resort guide
Know the mountain before you go.
The skiing
The terrain is mostly easy and intermediate, ideal for families and improvers, with the link to Lenzerheide adding plenty more for a full week. It is calm and civilised rather than challenging.
The village and the evenings
The village is quiet and pretty, with good hotels and a lake that freezes for winter walks. It is a place to unwind.
Getting there
Zurich is about two and a half hours away, with a scenic narrow gauge train for the final climb.
