MOVING MOUNTAINS - PLAY

We believe that PLAY is as important for our bodies and minds as any functional movement class or nourishing meal. Here you'll find a set of Empowering Expeditions and Curated Adventures for the current winter season designed with nothing more than pure unadulterated fun in mind. Free as part of our weekly programme or available for individual booking at an additional cost.
The activities for the upcoming 2026 summer season are currently being developed and will be published in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Empowering Expeditions give you the chance to challenge yourself physically or master a new skill, while immersing you in the surrounding nature.

Curated Adventures are about discovering the regions around our hotels and the locals artisans, producers and characters that make our locations so special. This is an opportunity for you to leave everyday life behind and delve into the local traditions and cultures.

Cool by nature

A hotel heated by ice water? Sounds wild, but that’s exactly what we do – and we think it’s pretty ingenious. Our Eco Tour gives a glimpse behind the scenes of the Valsana, letting you discover how cutting-edge infrastructure and smart tech come together to create one of the most sustainable energy concepts in the Alps. Cool answers to big questions: thor- oughly inspiring stuff.

Torchlight

Experiences

Torchlight walk

Let it shine! On this Empowering Expedition, we’ll hike with torches from Hof Maran back to the Valsana via the picturesque Eichhörnliweg trail. The reward? A steaming hot tea or mulled wine, sipped by the fireplace or – weather permitting – under the open sky.

Duration - 1.5 hours
Free of charge on Thursdays

Experiences

Sledging - Arosa after dark

When everyone else is winding down, we’re just getting started. Hop on the Valsana bus to Prätschli, grab a sledge and race your way back down towards the valley. Easy-going, sociable and with plenty of fresh mountain air – that’s an Arosa winter evening, Valsana style.

Duration - 1.5 hours
Free of charge on Fridays

Experiences

Cheese & Cheers

When bold wines meet cheeses with character, things get interesting. Sometimes soft, sometimes wild, always with style. Taste your way through unexpected pairings, accompanied by stories from the dairy and the cellar, and raise a glass with us to an evening of alpine flavours and new favourite matches.

Duration - approx. 1 hour
