Winter in Arosa
Activities
Ski-in, Ski-out
Our Tschuggen Express mountain railway covers a 528-metre route with 155 metres of altitude gain in less than four minutes. Stopping right at the heart of the Arosa-Lenzerheide ski area, it allows you to leave and return to the hotel on skis for ultimate convenience. The Tschuggen Express is reserved exclusively for guests of the hotel and offers room for 12 passengers per trip. What better way to explore the winter landscape?
Activities
Fun on the slopes
As the Grisons’ largest connected network of ski slopes, the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area offers more than 221 kilometres of pistes just waiting to be conquered. What could be more thrilling for a lover of winter sports? A variety of blue, red and black pistes mean that skiers of all ages and stages have plenty to choose from – all with spectacular views of the surrounding mountain landscape. For fans of freestyle, the Arosa Snowpark offers four areas with a range of activities for every difficulty level.
Activities
Equipment and skills
Our partner Gisler Sport offers everything you need for the slopes from a convenient on-site location at the Tschuggen Grand Hotel. Choose from modern equipment for hire and sale with the professional guidance of Gisler Sport’s experts. Once in the mountains, Arosa’s Swiss Ski and Snowboarding School is on hand for whenever you need it – for guests of all ages taking their first tentative downhill runs.
Activities
Beyond the slopes
Arosa offers as much to do off the slopes as on them. Sledding, horse-drawn carriage rides, snowshoeing, Nordic walking and more: you choose how you want to experience the winter. Enjoy a taster course in cross-country skiing or pay a visit to the bears of the Arosa Bear Sanctuary. They continue to welcome friendly faces throughout the cold season, as do the squirrels of the Arosa squirrel trail!
Activities
Swim-in, swim-out
Back at the hotel, the Tschuggen Mountain Oasis is your haven of relaxation. Some 5,000 square metres of spa space offer all you need to kick back and recharge your batteries. Float and relax against a stunning mountain backdrop or enjoy an individually tailored treatment or massage to restore your energy for your next day on the slopes.
