Arosa

Arosa is a mountain resort in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, sitting at around 1,800 metres above sea level at the head of a valley surrounded by peaks reaching over 2,800 metres. Reachable via a winding mountain road or the renowned Rhaetian Railway from Chur, the village is valued for its unspoilt natural setting, its two lakes (the Obersee and Untersee), and its tranquil atmosphere. In winter, the resort offers a ski area linked to Lenzerheide, with varied slopes, a snowpark and ski touring routes. In summer, Arosa becomes a base for hiking, mountain biking and lakeside walks, with numerous well-marked trails suited to all levels. The village retains an authentic alpine character, with a handful of shops, restaurants serving regional Graubünden cuisine, and spa facilities. The mountain climate brings cold, snowy winters and mild summers, ideal for outdoor pursuits. Arosa remains a popular choice for a nature-focused break, combining relaxation and sport away from the bustle of city life.
