arosa ski resort

This is a really great area for family skiiing in CH. Lots of beautiful wide open slopes with many levels to choose from. Food on the slopes too. Ski lessons group and private are easy to get. Man hotel options in town. For the non skier there is sledding and many trails to walk.

Arosa is a classical, old fashioned ski resort with a lot of intricate charm. For skiing and certain 'glamour' Zermatt, Davos, Saas Fee, Sankt Moritz are better. But the total package Arosa has more intrinsic modest style and quaity to it. That's why a lot of Swiss go to Arosa: this is wintersport at it's best. If you like: apres ski boozing, exhibitionist furr coats, a decadent approach in ski holidays, wide green/blue ski pists, lot's of (also east european) tourists: DONT GO TO AROSA. This is more subtel and chic.

Pretty great snow while I was there so of course it was an amazing time. I the new lift over to lenzerheit was neat. Huge area to ride. I like the town of Arosa more thou, you feel pretty out there in the alpine.

Excellent ski area, well maintained ski slopes, easy to also reach the slopes at the left side of Lenzerheide.

Wonderful skiing, great blue and red runs with a few blacks. Well worth a visit via the new cable car to Lenderheide to ski over that side. The lifts and gondolas were excellent. Some of the restaurants on the slopes were fairly basic but still very expensive, as are all of the restaurants in Arosa. The village is nice and it's fun to walk on the frozen lake. The train up from Chur is a must, with fantastic views. Overall an excellent skiing holiday but a very expensive one!

Our 10th ski trip to Arosa! We always go first week of February for Alpine Hot-air Balloon meeting,a super experience whixch attracts teams from all over Switzerland, Germany, Italy & Holland.This year was an excpetionally interesting week with a top-class curling competition in progress on the main town ice-rink, & the snow golf weekend on the frozen lake (with red balls for visibility!).The FIS World Cup Ski-cross international competition also was held that week in Arosa for the 2015 finale, with ensuing various European TV and radio station broadcast & publicity units. There was a free presentation by the competition organisers and live music stage in the main Post House square one evening, with many friendly folk, all mages, mixing happily to enjoy the music and dance in the snow!! A super night out to enjoy the great band, Roadworks and opportunity to make new friends.All this for visitors in addition to superb snow for ski/boarding & the new link cable car to Leinzerhide resort on the other side of trhe mountains. Saving up & cant wait to go again next year!!

Beautiful rail trip up the mountain to Arosa, so little traffic with the village with no non-priority journeys allowed between midnight and six so very peaceful. Good network of pistes favouring intermediates but the black runs really hard (ouch) with less management/impacting of new snow than experienced elsewhere.

With easy rail access from Chur and now being connected to Lenzerheide by cable car, Arosa offers a wide variety of well-groomed pistes, suitable for all grades. The whole infrastructure works very well, albeit run 15 down through the trees to the village gets busy and can be a little off-putting in places. It is a pity that so few UK operators go there.

Just enjoy this nice place for skiing. Very suitable for snowboarding, too! You are even able to transfer to an other ski-resort called Lenzerheide. Quite spectactular

This was my first visit to an Alpine resort. It was a nice place with a good mix of beginner and intermediate slopes, though the beginner slopes were more difficult than the equivalent in the US. The resort is pretty big and integrated into a few towns and there are several eateries and bars on the slopes. Lots of lifts and never had to wait long, except to pick up my pass on the first day, which took forever and is enormously inefficient. The pistes aren't phenomenally well marked, so I found it's better to avoid planning a route and just follow other people (the path of least resistance). Truth be told, the town of Arosa itself is a little sleepy and English isn't widely spoken, so if that's important, you may want to try one of the larger resorts. Easy connection by train, though.

We have been coming here for over twenty years. In that time the resort has developed with improving ski lifts and an extension to nearby Lenzerheide. We have always found the locals, whether in the ski lifts, tourist office, police, doctor, ski schools , banks or restaurants impeccably polite and helpful.The resort is great for skiers and boarders of all ages, maybe less challenging for black run lovers, but more than enough for me and my family, all of whom learnt to ski at the kinder ski Schulz.Thanks Arosa for many years of happy family ski img.

We were in Arosa for a week over Christmas to enjoy the ski area. We have already skied in Copper Mountain (Colorado) and Taos (New Mexico). The landscape in a Arosa is wonderful, particularly in nice weather. The lifts and the ski trails are in good shape, very efficient, and well-maintained. The ski trails were well prepared and interesting, although only the top part of the mountain was open, which was for us a little challenging. At the time we were there, there were no really easy trails open. The ski area could improve in information, which was difficult to get, particularly considering that there was a very limited number of trails opened. It was difficult to get correct information about the trails and what was opened or not. Even the people in the ski school did not have good information. They could train the workers better by giving them correct information in the morning, before opening the area. We also found that the lines could be a little better organized by lining ropes instead of leaving people to "fight for their space". The line organization is better is the US.Overall it was a very good experience and we hope we can come back when all the ski area is opened.

Stunning trip up to the village by train and then beautiful upper and lower lakes. The walk back up the hill from the bottom lake.

Arosa is a beautiful winter resort town. You can access is either via train or by car but you have to take into account that there are 100+ bends and curves to conquer. For some, this might be challenging so make sure you prepare yourself.The town itself is nestled along a street up the mountain but has some sort of resemblance of centre around the train station near the lake. The skiing (before connection to Lenzerheide, which I haven't yet tried) is big enough yet also small enough not to get lost.

great skiing, hidden away from the madding crowds - lots of easy slopes and some great back country too.I went back in summer for the glorious flower filled meadows and some cracking fell running and mountain biking
