Handbike Arosa

Experience the mountains first-hand, regardless of your mobility.

Arosa is opening up the mountain world to an even wider range of visitors: thanks to the handbike programmes at the Hörnlital station and at Triemel, people with reduced mobility (wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties) can explore the natural surroundings of Arosa actively, flexibly and independently. These programmes are being developed as part of the Arosa 2030 sustainability strategy and are funded through the Innotour project, which aims to promote inclusion within the destination.

Two locations, one goal: the mountains for everyone

To ensure that as many visitors as possible can enjoy the Arosa mountains, two handbikes are now available at different locations. Both initiatives were developed in collaboration with the Arosa Bikeschool, Orthotec AG and MountOn, and complement the existing ‘Worry-Free Package’ for accessible holidays in Arosa. 

Handbike Hörnli valley station

At the Arosa Bikeschool at the Hörnlital station, a high-performance handbike is available for tours or leisurely rides around the village. 

Handbike Triemel, Hochwang Archery Park

The Triemel combines the handbike experience with archery at the Hochwang Archery Park, making for a varied day out in the countryside.

The handbike is available for hire at the Arosa Bikeschool at the Hörnli valley station.

Pedro, pedalling a pedal boat with a disability

The first pedal boat for wheelchair users on Lake Obersee. 

Pedro makes it possible: in Arosa, people with disabilities can also go out on a pedal boat. The boat ‘Pedro’ is the latest pedal boat on Lake Obersee in Arosa, and it is no ordinary pedal boat. Thanks to a collaboration between the Cerebral Foundation and Arosa Tourism, it is the first pedal boat designed for wheelchair users. Through the ‘Pedal Boating for All’ project, the Cerebral Foundation and Arosa Tourism are making it possible for people with disabilities to enjoy a boat trip on Lake Obersee in Arosa together with family or friends.
