On the slopes

Beginners and children will enjoy the Arosa ski resort's easy slopes at Tschuggen or the quiet Inner-Arosa area, while intermediates will find great views on the Obersee-Bruggerhorn Blue run and a steeper challenge on the Weisshorn. Although there are few black runs, the variety of off-piste terrain will make up for it. For boarders there is a terrain park with jumps, rails, and a 150m half-pipe, as well as the Bruggerhorn "free-ride mountain".

RESORT GOOD POINTS
- Classic winter sports resort ambience, with lots going on other than skiing and boarding
- Few queues on the lifts and generally not one of the busiest resorts
- Choice of good nursery slopes at village or mid-mountain level
|
RESORT BAD POINTS
- Slopes too limited for mileage-hungry intermediates
- Few challenging pistes for experts - though there is good off-piste
- Spread-out village lacks a heart, and means some accommodation is inconveniently situated
