THE RESORT
The Skiing
FUN ON THE SLOPES FOR EVERY LEVELThere are 42 lifts available to explore the extensive Arosa-Lenzerheide winter sports region. 225km of pistes on three valley sides leaves nothing to be desired with challenging black slopes, varied red slopes and relaxed blue slopes. All skiers and snowboarders can find a descent that’s right for them. Arosa has plenty of wide slopes and lovely long cruising blues for those that like to take things easy along with multiple children’s ski areas. For the more advanced, there is a good number of red and black runs. If you want an easy run then the ‘Grosse Maran’ is the perfect run for you. On the other hand, if you want to get your adrenaline pumping with a steep piste and lots of speed then we recommend the ‘Carmenna Chair to the ‘Carmenna Hut’ run.
