Visit the bears

During the winter months, the bears at the Bear Sanctuary hibernate and retreat to their dens or the indoor enclosure. As the first warmer days of spring arrive, they gradually become more active and slowly venture back towards the outdoor enclosure. Exactly when they will first be seen outside depends on many factors.

Opening times in spring:

Ascension Day: 14–17 May 2026, 10.00–16.00, excluding operation of the Arosa Weisshorn cable car
Whitsun: 23–25 May 2026, 10.00–16.00, excluding operation of the Arosa Weisshorn cable car
Pre-season: 30–31 May 2026 & 6–7 June 2026, 10.00–16.00

To The Arosa Bear Sanctuary

Eichhörnchen beobachten

The squirrel trail is one of the most popular themed trails for families – and for good reason. The curious squirrels come right up close and will even eat straight out of your hand. An experience that delights visitors of all ages.

The trail starts at Tomeli-Strasse (below the Waldhotel Arosa), leads through the forest and ends at the Maran bus stop.

To protect the animals and the natural environment, please stay on the marked path at all times and do not follow the squirrels into the forest.

Hiking trails

Discover the Schanfigg on the Villages Trail

While Arosa is still covered in a shimmering blanket of snow, the first signs of spring are already blooming in the Schanfigg valley. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the valley in its awakening beauty.

The Villages Trail leads you through varied landscapes with impressive panoramas, past meadows, forests, gorges, mountain huts and across numerous bridges. The approximately 52‑kilometre trail network is divided into several stages – giving you the freedom to choose whether you walk just one section or turn it into a longer tour.

Along the way, you’ll encounter many unique offers and breathtaking views that enrich your hike. Set the length of your tour entirely at your own pace – and get to know the Schanfigg valley along the way.

Grab your bike – the trails are ready. Are you?
