Arosa / Mountain restaurants
Skiers and snowboarders share the mountain with walkers enjoying 60km of winter walking paths adjacent to some pistes and one of Arosa’s big plus points as an alpine resort is the fact that each of Arosa’s mountain restauarants can be got to on foot without using the lift system and if you prefer not to ski and not to walk, some huts can be reached by sleigh ride.
Alpenblick mountain restaurant on Hörnli ski piste serves speciality cheese and meat fondues, tasty grilled chicken (don’t forget chips!) and has a reasonable selection of wines on offer. It’s open from 09:00 until 23:30. At night you get there by taking an affordable sleigh ride which departs hourly from Schlittenpost outside Restaurant Grischuna in Inner-Arosa at 18.00, 19.00 and 20.00 hours.
Mountain restaurant Brüggerstuba forms part of the middle station at the top of the first cable car up from Arosa and serves quite reasonable pasta dishes. For drinks there’s also the Sternerbar umbrella outside while by day it’s quite unremarkable every Wednesday night late December through March it is the on-mountain venue for Europe’s biggest multimedia laser show.
Carmennahut is a traditional rustic Swiss mountain restaurant and long time favourite in Arosa, deservedly popular and usually busy especially blue sky days when it’s a happening place, with large comfy sunloungers and an outside bar. Traditional Swiss dishes and a good choice of wines from Italy, France and Germany. The Bratwurst mit Rősti is recommended and washes down well with a bottle of Soleado Cabernet Sauvignon. Ski to the Carmenna by taking the red run from the top of the Plattenhorn chairlift or via black run 11 from Weisshorn.
Hőrnlihut is a summit restaurant but you have to boot about 100 metres or more uphill from the top of the Hőrnliexpress gondola to reach it. You’ll ask yourself is it really worth the walk up, we decided not, which means we can't tell you, but at least that gives us an excuse to go back. Next time we’ll find out, promise.
Sattelhut on Weisshorn is a cosy rustic traditional Swiss-style mountain hut with a new, well sheltered sun terrace, great mountain views and outside bar which is a popular meeting place
SiT Hut is unmistakenly boarder territory close to the top of Arosa’s Tomeli draft lift, which runs along side the half-pipe. If you’re 40-plus and arrive on skis you might want to walk on by, but if your wearing baggies and beanie it’s a cool and friendly place to hang out. Leave your board outside or take it in with you, no one will mind.
Tschuggen Hűtte is a complex of four restaurants and an umbrella bar close to the bottom of the Tschuggen West drag lift, easy to get to and one of the most popular places to hang out for lunch. There are four restaurants are Kuhbar, Saustall, Raclette Bar and Tschuggenstűbli - none of them excpetional - with outside tables and up to 300 sunloungers so well worth checking out on a blue sky day. It's also a big party venue later in season and definitely worth splitting your skis with a friend to guard against theft or mistaken identity.
Weisshorngipfel restaurant and bar on Weisshorn summit – the top of Arosa - is the place to go for the highest sunlounging, best panoramic views or for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Try the Swiss “Zmorga” sunrise breakfast every Thursday from late December until end March or fondue at sunset every Tuesday from late January until early March and watch the torch-lit ski descent by the Ski School SSSA returning to Arosa cable car between 9:30 and10:00pm. Advance booking essential for breakfast or dinner and phone before 2pm at least one day in advance.
