Ski Holidays in Arosa, Switzerland

If you are looking for an all round mountain experience in attractive surroundings then you couldn’t choose a better ski resort than Arosa, Switzerland for a ski holiday. Visitors come as much for the sun as the snow, both of which have an excellent record. The skiing in Arosa is well organised and also suits non skiers as it is easy to meet up for lunch in the numerous and good mountain restaurants. There is enough skiing to keep intermediates and beginners happy, however, advanced skiers will need to look beyond the pistes for a more challenging experience.

Arosa is near to the ski resort of Davos-Klosters and also Flims and the White Arena ski area, reachable by road.

A hidden gem 20/04/2011

Arosa is as close to an alpine fairy-tale as you can get. A single road and train track wind their way up the valley to the picturesque village, which nestles below the tree-line. This unspoilt swiss gem is impossible not to fall in love with at first sight. As far as the skiing goes, Arosa is relatively small, and is more suited to beginner and intermediate skiers. However, there is plenty to keep even experts busy for a week or so. Queues are minimal and views spectacular. An easy-going, quintessentialy swiss resort not to be missed.

Amazing Resort - Decent skiing. 26/04/2011

Absolutely lovely ski holiday in Arosa. It's a magical place with many positive aspects. Nice and small skiing area, ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers with not a great deal of harder slopes for those experiences skiers. The village itself is beautiful and very picturesque. Plenty of lovely shops and other activities taking place mid-season. The sledge runs are a lot of fun and there are a number of nice bars and restaurants in town. I would highly recommend a holiday in Arosa, especially for families and lovers of gorgeous mountain views, fondue and traditional swiss alpine experiences.

Perfect Winter Holiday, Skier or Not 28/03/2013

Being a regular skier, with a need for speed, i thought Arosa being a small resort would not compare to the likes of Avoriaz and the big french resorts, however not only is the skiing fantastic but the resort it self is a hidden gem. The train journey alone is stunning and the resort is picturesque. It doesnt take very long to fall in love with this beautiful resort. It may be a quiet little town but with very friendly locals who are always up for a chat on the bus! Arosa is expensive like all of switzerland but do great deals for students and eating in saves the pennies. The skiing conditions were perfect and despite being half term, the queues were minimal. There aren't many pistes however it was still great fun especially if you know a local who knows the secrets. The resort couldn't be more ideal for beginners though with lovely wide blues to get you started. There are also some lovely walking routes which are great to explore on an afternoon off and there are also some designated sledge routes which are great fun! There are many other activities too which will keep any non-skiier busy (great if you want to ski in peace!) Overall, Arosa has something for everyone. It has been one of the best holidays i have been on and I can't wait to get back there next year!
