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.
Activities
Moving Mountains
We believe that people should never stop playing. To celebrate this philosophy, we've curated a special selection of activities aimed at experiencing the Arosa winter through play. Learn new skills and crafts, listen to fascinating stories and find out more about centuries-old traditions as part of our Moving Mountains holiday programme.

Experiences
Sunrise hike
Before the day begins, the route leads through the snowy morning landscape towards Alpenblick. There, the rising sun casts the surrounding peaks in a golden light. On the way back, you can choose to sledge down or continue along another winter route.
Experiences
Ice bathing
A truly unique winter experience awaits at Europe’s first Eisbadi. After a short introduction, take the plunge into the clear, icy water and feel the invigorating cold awaken your senses and leave you energised.
Experiences
Snowshoe hike
On snowshoes, the route leads through Arosa’s snow-covered winter landscape to the Altreiner Waterfall, where ice and cold create striking natural formations. Those wishing to extend the tour can explore further scenic routes through the winter mountains.
Experiences
A Taste of Arosa at the Local Brewery
A walk leads to the Arosa brewery, where the scent of malt and hops fills the air. Stories about the brewery and its beers accompany a tasting of local brews, served with cheese and pretzels.
Experiences
Introduction to Swiss German
Hüt scho is chuchichäschtli gluegt? A little introduction to Swiss German – charming, relaxed and with a gentle sense of humour. Over an apéritif and some Swiss cheese, you’ll get to know a few typical expressions. And perhaps a first „Hoi zäme” might even lead to a lovely new acquaintance.
Experiences
Snow bathing and sauna under the stars
Barefoot through the snow, we make our way to the Tschuggen platform. Inside the sauna tent, soothing infusions bring welcome warmth, while outside the stars sparkle above Arosa. The experience ends with a refreshing plunge into the snow.
Experiences
Night sledging and campfire
As dusk falls, we make our way up to the Tschuggen platform. At the top, there are views over Arosa by night, a sky full of stars and a crackling fire, with warming punch and mulled wine. To finish, we sledge back down into the valley through the crisp winter night.
Experiences
Winter shooting star season
At the Tschuggen platform, mulled wine, punch, freshly baked waffles and cookies offer a welcome pause. Wrapped in warm blankets, you can look out over the clear night sky above Arosa and, with a little luck, spot a shooting star. Afterwards, it’s back down into the valley by sledge.
Experiences
Discover Arosa with the Outdoor Butler
Discover Arosa from a more personal perspective: together with you, the Outdoor Butler creates a bespoke mountain experience and accompanies you along the way.
