Arosa-Lenzerheide Ski Holidays Switzerland
"What an amazing ski area! There are so many slopes to cruise around and enjoy. It’s a paradise for intermediate skiers who want to cover lots of ground on quiet slopes and enjoy a leisurely lunch"
Arosa-Lenzerheide Ski Holidays
Get ready to discover one of Switzerland’s hidden gems. Snow-sure slopes, an extensive ski area with over 225km pistes to explore, plenty of gastronomic mountain restaurants and a state-of-the-art lift system. What’s not to love? Throw in excellent quality accommodation and easy links to Zurich Airport and you’ll be questioning why you haven’t been here before.
Explore the slopes
This ski area has something for everyone. From gentle blues and cruising reds to challenging blacks, skiers of all abilities will feel right at home here.
Originally two separate ski areas, the impressive Urdenbahn cable car now provides a seamless link between the slopes of Arosa and Lenzerheide. Not only does the cable car unlock many kilometres of additional slopes, the views over the pristine landscape as you travel make the cable car journey worthwhile in itself. The slopes of Arosa are easy to navigate with seemingly endless runs stretching out before your eyes. In Lenzerheide the pistes rise above the Heidsee lake on both sides of the mountain with a two-way chairlift providing the crucial link between the two.
Enjoy the resort
The ski area links the two destinations of Arosa and Lenzerheide, both original resorts in their own right.
Arosa is an upmarket but relaxed destination centred around the Obersee lake. With an altitude of 1800m the lake often freezes in winter and transforms into an open-air playground to enjoy. Arosa offers an excellent choice of accommodation as well as a small collection of shops, bars and restaurants.
Lenzerheide has a traditional Swiss feel with the resort’s shops, bars and restaurants spread out along the main street. The neighbouring satellite village of Valbella is a 5-minute drive from Lenzerheide with a frequent bus service linking the two.
Where to stay
You’ll find an excellent range of accommodation in Arosa-Lenzerheide to suit all tastes. Whether you’re looking for a luxury 5-star hotel, a full-service holiday resort or a simple hotel with great service, we’ve got you covered.

Après-Ski in Arosa-Lenzerheide
Arosa-Lenzerheide is not famous for après-ski but that’s not to say that there’s no fun to be had! The Kuhbar on the slopes of Arosa comes alive in the afternoon with DJ sets and has a great atmosphere. Accessible to non-skiers using the cable car and winter walking trails, it’s a great place to meet up and finish your day on the mountain. The Carmenna Hut also gets lively and is ideal for soaking up some late afternoon sunshine on the comfortable lounge chairs. On the Lenzerheide side, be sure to check out the Chillihutta with regular live bands and DJs. A trip to the Goldgräber Bar is also a great place to round off your day on the mountain.
Dining in Arosa-Lenzerheide
Arosa-Lenzerheide has a great mountain dining scene with plenty of stylish restaurants to choose from. A trip to the Hörnlihütte at 2511m is a must with stunning views from its impressive terrace and delicious freshly cooked dishes. The AlpArosa is another great choice with a beautiful sun terrace and varied menu. Motta Hütte has a stylish and modern feel with an extensive menu to choose from.
Off the slopes, there’s an impressive gourmet scene to explore. Foodies should check out the two Michelin-starred La Brezza in Arosa (part of the Tshuggen Grand Hotel) serving modern interpretations of traditional Swiss and Italian cuisine. Lenzerheide also boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant, La Riva, serving modern French cuisine. Scalottas Terroir is a stylish restaurant in the heart of Lenzerheide using only the freshest local ingredients.
Activities in Arosa-Lenzerheide
There’s plenty to do aside from skiing. The Bear Sanctuary in Arosa sits at 2000m above sea level and gives you a unique opportunity to see bears in their natural environment. Why not enjoy a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride through unspoilt winter scenery or try your hand at curling on the outdoor ice rink in Arosa? For some adrenaline-filled fun, check out the Light Ride in Lenzerheide – this is souped up sledging by night with multi-coloured lights, challenges and time bonuses as you race your friends down the mountain.
