Winter Hiking in Arosa

Hiking routes in Arosa, Langwies, on the mountain, at the Untersee lake or at the Hochwang

Every area offers a suitable option for your winter hiking tour. Our route list provides useful information for all tours including difficulty level. Arosa offers over 60 km of hiking trails which lead through snow covered forests or right across the snow sports area to all mountain huts.

Note: Unfortunately, the winter hiking trails cannot yet be groomed with a snow groomer due to the small amount of snow. However, most of the paths are already well tamped down or have been driven in with a quat and roller. However, good footwear is recommended. As a hiking tip, we can recommend the Eichhörnliweg, Prätschli - middle station or Prätschli - Rot Tritt.

Heidi & Gigi Trail

The Heidi & Gigi Trail, which connects Arosa and Lenzerheide, is a very special highlight in our winter sports paradise. The total hiking time is just around six hours. However, it can be shortened by using resort lift and chair lifts.

Be impressed by the mountain scenery, use the newest transportation facilities such as the Urden Aerial Railway and relax at one of the cosy mountain huts along the way.

KrimiSpass

In the two interactive adventure detective stories, you slip into the role of a commissioner of the Graubünden cantonal police. You are assigned to take up the investigation. Go on a search for clues across Ausser- and Innerarosa. Ask around in the village and in the surroundings of the two victims and get important clues that will lead you on the trail of the perpetrator. Both cases can be completed and solved independently of each other. (Only in German)

(Theme trail can be walked, provided there is not too much snow and the panels are not covered by snow).
