Forecast today: Light rain
Absolute beginners will really enjoy the sunny nursery slopes in Innerarosa, with great progression on offer on the gentle runs at Tschuggen. The rest of the local ski area is then one big playground for intermediates upwards – our favourite routes are the sweeping reds off the Hörnli Express. Confident intermediates should be able to make the most of the link across the Lenzerheide, via the Urdenbahn and then the convenient chairlift across the road at Parpan.
More advanced skiers and riders have a big playground at their disposal if there has been fresh snow, but note that if the skies haven’t been dropping the white stuff there is a relatively limited number of challenges. The best area for off piste is served by the new Brüggerhorn 6-pack chairlift. The new chair has significantly improved access to this steep sector of the resort.
There are two main parts to Arosa, both of which are equally convenient. The main part of town surrounds the Obersee Lake and extends up to the higher satellite of Innerarosa. Hotels can be found throughout and whether you’re looking for 5* luxury or a cosy, family-run B&B, Arosa has both. There are some nice bars and restaurants in town and up on the hill, the Carmennahütte is a very popular spot for après ski sessions.
Away from the pistes, Arosa is home to a very good network of winter walking trails, none more so than the epic ridgeline route down from the Weisshorn and you can even walk all the way to and from après at the Carmennahütte. The outdoor ice rink is popular and you can try your hand at curling or ice hockey.
Access via Chur is very easy from Zürich and Basel is a good alternative. The drive from the former takes around 2.5 hours (add half an hour if you’re catching the train) and the latter is around three hours away by car (or four by train).

After a good couple of weeks for the Swiss Alps, particular after the arrival of a series of Nordstau events, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.
Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the Swiss Alps.
A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
