Arosa, eastern
Switzerland, altitude 1800m,
nestles in an impressive Alpine landscape with lush,
flower-filled mountain meadows, crystal-clear streams and
picture-perfect peaks. Some 200 km of clearly signposted walking
and hiking trails lead through the Graubunden Alps, such as the
10 Lakes Tour, a 15 km trail from one beautiful lake to the
next. Or more strenuous mountain hikes to stunning scenic
summits. Mountain bikers will be in their element on 50 km of
trails and golfers will love Europe’s highest-altitude 18-hole
golf course. Tennis, Nordic walking, Badminton, horse riding,
fishing, beach volleyball and swimming are just a few of the
other available options.
Arosa is of course a well-known winter-sport paradise with 60 km
of excellent pistes with 13 lifts, 30 km of cross-country ski
runs and 60 km of winter- walking trails. Ice skating, sledging,
a fun park and half pipe are also on offer. And at 1800 m
altitude, you can be certain of snow. Those preferring more
leisurely pursuits and a little romance can take a trip into the
surrounding countryside with a horse-drawn sleigh. Gourmets will
find a wide choice of first-class cuisine, whether in a rustic
mountain tavern or stylish Gault Millau restaurant. And when it
comes to accommodation, Arosa’s offers range from the appeal of
a simple mountain hut to the elegance of a luxurious five-star
establishment.
