Experiences
Warm Winter Treats
Winter tastes like toasted marshmallows, fresh stick bread and steaming mugs. Gather by the fire, roast, bake and warm up with punch, mulled wine or tea. Cold noses included.
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.
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.
