Arosa is a family-run Swiss resort in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland and is located at the end of the Schanfitt valley. Arosa is about 150 km away from Zurich, which will take you about two hours to pass via an ski resort transfer from Zurich to Arosa. Switzerland’s roads are renowned for being first-class, so you won’t even notice how quickly the time will fly.
The resort of Arosa is suitable and preferred by all lovers of skiing and snowboarding and this is what has led to its growth and development. For years Arosa has been rated as one of the most innovative areas in Europe and we completely understand why. Some of the most famous events, that take place in the region, are The Arosa Classic, a rally of the galactic climb type that is attended by thousands of fans of the attraction every year, and The Arosa Comedy Festival, which entertains the town’s visitors. However, the resort remains predominantly dedicated to winter sports and this is the most common reason for visiting.
A curious fact about this Arosa is that it has been appropriately nicknamed for its fame as a prestigious winter resort, namely the “Pearl of the Alps”, and this is not coincidental. This high praise is a result of the established and maintained winter mountain climbing routes, sports facilities, and ice rinks. Any fan of these activities should consider paying a visit to Arosa.
The place is suitable for slow walks in nature, in the company of breathtaking views of the mountains in the area, as well as exploring the central part of the resort town, where there are two extremely beautiful lakes – Obersee and Untersee.
In Arosa, you can enjoy amazing ski slopes and snow slides where, due to the higher altitude, the snow cover stays constant for quite a long time. You can also explore the quite diverse and fascinating cultural and culinary highlights that are an integral part of the town and its traditions.
