Resort Profile For Arosa
High, sunny and picturesque
Arosa ski resort sits in a sunny bowl, situated at 1800m in the beautiful Schanfigger valley.
The resort is split in to two contrasting centres. Inner-Arosa is the old, more traditional, resort with pleanty of Alpine charm. Attractive chalets with mostly ski-in/ski-out accommodation. Arosa is the newer area, with a more purpose built feel and fairly soulless buildings. This said, the whole resort has an attractive aspect.
