A city trip to Arosa in Switzerland promises multi-faceted holidays. You can visit cultural events or museums, discover historical sites or do some mountain sports in winter as well as summer.

If you come to Arosa for a mini-break during winter, you have the choice of a multitude of slopes of the Arosa Ski Resort for skiing and snowboarding. The peak of Weisshorn Mountain is 2,653 metres high and offers 16 mountain railways to access different departure points. The area is perfect for beginners as well as winter sports experts. While on your short trip to Arosa, also take advantage of more than 30 kilometres of cross-country ski trails. One of the mountain railways, such as the Weisshornbahn, will take you directly to the peak of the mountains.

Should you decide to visit Arosa during summer, be sure to visit the only ropes course in all of Switzerland. It is located in the midst of the woods and offers different courses for children and adults to prove their skills, flexibility and strength.

Take a city trip to Arosa to also visit Untersee Lake and relax on its shore. There is a sandy beach, various diving towers, changing rooms as well as a large lawn for sunbathing with sunbeds. In addition, you will find a playground and a baby’s pool which is heated by solar energy. If you would like to get to know Obersee Lake a bit better during your travels, be sure to rent a canoe or a pedal boat.

The Arosa Junior Club is especially recommendable for families. The concept of this club is something special. Children of various age groups are cared for here and can frolic around inside on play equipment or participate in excursions into nature. Handicraft activities are also on offer here.

While on your mini-break in Arosa, be sure to take advantage of the sites to discover. Among them is the Bergkirchli Church from 1492 which impresses with its ceiling in late Gothic style. The pipe organ from the 18th century is also awe-inspiring. If you would like to find out more about the city, its history and the customers of the region, be sure to visit the Eggahuus Museum of Local History.

Nice place to go, but next time we will arrrive by train. The road had 360 turns! The train looks very convenient from Zurich airport. Just one change in Chur.
