Arosa / Intermediate

Arosa’s ski area is fine for early intermediate skiers, but if you’re a strong intermediate with a penchant for long cruisy reds and prefer not to ski the same run twice then Arosa will not be first choice for a week long vacation.
 
But if you’re getting bored of “didn’t fall all week” bashing around on-piste there are good opportunities to improve your carving technique or learn to freeride with off-piste tuition from the local ski schools.

If it’s your first time skiing in Arosa, the following itinerary will get you well acquainted with the ski area . Start by taking the cable car to middle station and then change cars and ride again to Weisshorn, exit right and warm up on red 7 then 8, then ride the Bruggerhorn chair and ski red 6 to Prätschli and take the Tomeli drag back up to Tschuggen – you’ll see the half-pipe on your left – and follow the markers down the other side to Carmenna chair.

The Carmenna chair takes you most of the way back up Weisshorn (or you can exit the chair quite legitimately at a supervised half way point) then ski red 12 beneath the chair taking the right hand piste over to Plattenhorn and cruise down red 5 to Carmennahűtte for your first pit-stop before riding the Plattenhorn again and ski other side of the chair following blue 5 then working your way skiers right and ride the Hőrnli-Express gondola and enjoy the three short reds (2), ride the chair back up Hőrnli then ski down blue 1 and break for lunch either at Alpenblick or try the not so obvious restaurant at Hotel Gspan which you can see just right of the piste before Inner Arosa.

After lunch either go back up by gondola for more skiing on Hőrnli or ski down to Inner-Arosa (5-star hotel spotters note the Kulm Hotel bottom right at the far of the piste and the Tschuggen Grand rising high above the trees in the background) then catch the Inner Arosa-Tschuggen chair back up to Tschuggen and may be try the black runs off Weisshorn or you can head back up the Brűggerhorn and ski the long blue 9 down to Prätschli then use the drag lift to gain height and if you’re done skiing for the day you can ski blue 16 home run down to Arosa or late season you can pop back up Tschuggen and ski down to Tschuggenhűtte for a spot of late afternoon après – that’s the Arosa ski area or most of it done in a day – it’s not huge but it’s good fun and typically Swiss.
