Arosa, Graubunden, Switzerland
 
The spectacular resort of Arosa sits in a mountain bowl and is surrounded by high peaks. This is a classic scene straight from a brochure.

The quality of the ski area, the snow record and true door step skiing make it a wonderful choice for those who really like to just get up and go skiing.

Your arrival by train adds to the magic of this alpine adventure, a very different arrival to that of one of the first British tourists in Arosa, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1894. Doyle loved the area so much he wrote about it on his return to Britain and it soon became a popular destination for those early pioneers of British skiing.

It is easy to see why people love the area so much. As you stand by The Mountain Lodge, you can hear skiers and boarders going by on the piste, the view of which is only obscured by the magnificent tall trees that surround you. When you and your instructor are ready, you step in (or strap up) and away you go.  

The progression of slopes is fantastic, after only a few days beginners will be able to ski back to the lodge and if you master the basics, you can forget about the ski bus each morning - smiles all round!!

The better skiers will love the runs from the top of the Weisshorn and some of the runs off-piste in Arosa are just awesome.

The terrain, a variety of slopes perfect for the developing skier and one of the best snow records in Switzerland makes this a fantastic destination.

Arosa is one of Switzerland's best loved ski resorts and you can see why the Swiss are so proud of it when you spend a little time in this wonderful town.
