Nestled at the end of a high Alpine valley, Arosa is one of Powder Byrne’s favourite
destinations, in summer as well as winter. It boasts a tranquil setting surrounded by majestic peaks and offers a peaceful summer microclimate. Away from bustling city streets and crowded beaches, you’ll immerse yourself in pristine mountain air and gorgeous Swiss nature.
Heaven for active children
Perfectly positioned in the Graubünden region, Arosa transforms into a vibrant playground for young adventurers during the summer months. Powder Byrne’s Swiss Mountain programmes offer a dynamic blend of outdoor activities designed to engage children aged 4 years and above.
The Mountain Scallywags designed for 4- to 9-year-olds and PB Mountain Adventure
Programme, perfect for those 10 years and above, provide supervised activities filled with excitement and learning.
Children can immerse themselves in mountain biking, archery, hiking through alpine trails, and conquering high rope courses in the treetops. The programme’s highlight is the Hörnli trail, accessible via the Hörnli-Express lift, offering an exhilarating descent through Arosa’s stunning landscapes. Each activity is crafted to build confidence, teamwork, and a love for the outdoors, all under the watchful eye of experienced instructors and one of the expert Powder Byrne assistants to ensure safety and fun.
Both mountain programmes are designed to run for 4 half-days and 2 full days, this means some time is reserved for family adventures, from swimming in the Undersee Lido to exploring the Arosa Bear Sanctuary. This balanced approach ensures children are both challenged and cared for, while allowing parents to enjoy some personal time and join in the fun.
Fun for the whole family
Arosa isn’t just a destination for your children, it offers plenty of excitement and relaxation for adults too. Whether you’re seeking adventure or a more laid-back experience, there’s something for everyone in the family.
For those who love the outdoors, hiking and E-biking are popular activities, with options for both guided excursions and solo exploration. With 200 km of summer hiking trails Arosa caters to all levels, from leisurely walks to challenging long-distance treks. Some trails begin directly from the resort, while others are accessible via cable car offering stunning views along the way.
For golf enthusiasts, Arosa is home to one of Europe’s highest golf courses. This historic 9-hole course, established in 1945, is one of Switzerland’s first golf courses and provides a unique setting for a round of golf at high altitude.
After a day filled with energetic activities, unwind at the swimming lake, enjoy a relaxing
afternoon in the hotel spa, or try some yoga, which offers a serene experience with stunning views. The variety of activities on offer in the summer months makes Arosa the destination for a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
