Intermediates can ride to higher ground either by taking the Weisshorn 2 cable car to Weisshorn (2,853m) or via the chairlift to Br\u0171ggerhorn (2,453m), with a choice of three red run descents from Br\u0171ggerhorn back to the middle station. At Weisshorn, you have the choice between the red run (7) or an easy black run (10), but often the best snow conditions both on- and off-piste will be found over on H\u0151rnli on the left of the ski map. The top of the Hornli lift (2511m) is also the departure point for the Urden lift, which connects Arosa to Lenzerheide.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_73219\" style=\"width: 1190px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73219\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73219\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste-\u00a9-Arosa-Lenzerheide.jpg\" alt=\"Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste \u00a9 Arosa Lenzerheide\" width=\"1180\" height=\"778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste-\u00a9-Arosa-Lenzerheide.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste-\u00a9-Arosa-Lenzerheide-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste-\u00a9-Arosa-Lenzerheide-535x353.jpg 535w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste-\u00a9-Arosa-Lenzerheide-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste-\u00a9-Arosa-Lenzerheide-768x506.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-73219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arosa_Ski_Area_Black_Piste \u00a9 Arosa Lenzerheide<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>The ski runs are well posted and so are the many adjacent walking trails but in white-out conditions, it can be difficult to distinguish between markers on either side of the piste from those that mark the walking trails and you could easily find yourself on one or the other or in semi-off-piste conditions in between. Experienced skiers can ski the Arosa ski area on piste within 2-3 days but there are plenty of off-piste possibilities for strong skiers. Queuing for ski lifts is not a problem thanks to the efficient lift system and the fact that\u00a0Arosa&#8217;s ski area is rarely crowded except for the lower sections of the run from Tschuggen middle station to Arosa which can become crowded towards the end of the day in peak periods.<\/p>\r\n<p>There are over 25km of cross-country ski trails and a 60km network of on-mountain hiking trails, Winter walking in Arosa is a mainstream activity and if the weather is not suited for skiing, it\u2019s something everyone should try.<\/p>\r\n<p>All of the mountain restaurants, including three summit restaurants, can be reached by walkers without once having to access the lift system. There is also a special pedestrian lift pass for full-time walkers. And if you want to combine walking with sliding down the mountain there are special slopes for sledging.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Skiing in Lenzerheide<\/h3>\r\n<p>Two-thirds of the skiing is in the Lenzerheide Valley where there is skiing on both the West and East sides of the valley, whereas in Arosa there are only slopes on the West side. But the lift connection between the two valleys \u2013 the Urdenbahn cable car from Hornli to Urdenfurggli &#8211; is a high-capacity one, capable of shifting 1700 people from one side to the other in an hour, so getting across and returning is very rarely a problem. If you\u2019re a strong skier who likes a challenge, you can hire a guide and try some of the off-piste routes. Within Lenzerheide, you can switch between the two sides of the valley most easily at Parpan where there is a connecting lift; otherwise, it\u2019s a walk or a short bus ride.<\/p>\r\n<p>Skiing both sides of the valley allows you to follow the sun: in the morning you ski the East-facing Piz Scalottas and Statzerhorn mountains (or Arosa\u2019s slopes, as they mostly face East too) and in the afternoon you can ski the mostly West-facing Rothorn and Weisshorn sectors.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Rothorn and Weisshorn side is higher than the other side, so has slightly more open bowl skiing and fewer tree-lined runs. As well as the pistes, there is often a lot of off-piste here as well. Be aware, however, that big cliffs are blocking the direct path from Rothorn to Valbella, so a guide is recommended. They can also show you much longer itineraries which take you away from the piste network.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The villages of Lenezerheide (sometimes still called Vaz and Obervaz), Valbella, and Parpan are all at very similar altitudes. The official height of all three villages ranges from 1475m to 1500m so the valley floor is very nearly flat here, which should not prove too great a surprise given that the Heidsee lake is in the middle of it. But Churwalden is noticeably lower at 1230m. It&#8217;s a great place to escape to in a blizzard.<\/p>\r\n<p>The highlight for intermediates and above is the run from the highest part of the ski area (Rothorn 2865m) down to Parpan, with a vertical of about 1400m. This includes the Silvano Beltrametti World Cup downhill course. The top part is almost all north-facing so the snow is usually in excellent condition.<\/p>\r\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/arosalenzerheide.swiss\/en\/Arosa\/Up-to-date\/Winter-sports-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ski Lifts Status &amp; Open Facilities in Arosa &gt;<\/a><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docTitle\"} -->\r\n<h2 id=\"section-beginner-skiing-in-arosa-2\">Beginner Skiing in Arosa<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docStandFirst\"} -->\r\n<p><strong>Arosa has six beginner runs served by three T-bar drag lifts that run right and left from the middle station (2,013m) on Tschuggen.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docBodyText\"} -->\r\n<p>Beginners on Tschuggen can easily meet family and friends for lunch, either at Br\u0171ggerstuba restaurant (middle cable car station) or at Tschuggenh\u0171tte.

Start by taking the cable car to the 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 Pr\u00e4tschli and take the Tomeli drag back up to Tschuggen &#8211; you&#8217;ll see the half-pipe on your left &#8211; and follow the markers down the other side to Carmenna chair.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Carmenna chair takes you most of the way back up Weisshorn (or you can exit the chair quite legitimately at a supervised halfway point) then ski red 12 beneath the chair taking the right-hand piste over to Plattenhorn and cruise down red 5 to Carmennah\u0171tte for your first pit-stop before riding the Plattenhorn again and ski the other side of the chair following blue 5 then working your way skiers right and ride the H\u0151rnli-Express gondola and enjoy the three short reds (2), ride the chair back up H\u0151rnli 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.<\/p>\r\n<p>After lunch either go back up by gondola for more skiing on H\u0151rnli 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 maybe try the black runs off Weisshorn or you can head back up the Br\u0171ggerhorn and ski the long blue 9 down to Pr\u00e4tschli then use the drag lift to gain height and if you&#8217;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 Tschuggenh\u0171tte for a spot of late afternoon apr\u00e8s &#8211; that&#8217;s the Arosa ski area, or most of it, done in a day. It&#8221;s not huge but it&#8217;s good fun and typically Swiss.<\/p>\r\n<p>And now it&#8217;s time to take the Urden lift over to Lenzerheide. Again most of the runs are crusiy red and blues, so when you ski them is likely to be determined by the time of day (the East-facing slopes on the far side from Arosa are best in the morning) and whether the weather encourages you to seek out the high open bowls (Rothorn, Weisshorn and Piz Danis have the best) or the tree-lined slopes lower down (all the mountains have some but the best are on Piz Scalottas and Statzerhorn).<\/p>\r\n<div>The highlight for intermediate skiers is likely to be the run from the highest part of the ski area at Rothorn at 2865m down to Parpan, with a vertical of nearly 1400m. This includes the Silvano Beltrametti World Cup downhill course. The top part is almost all north-facing so the snow is usually the best in the whole area. If you want a challenge, try doing it non-stop. But if you like taking things slow and steady and want time to appreciate the scenery (which after all, is the Arosa way) you can stop off at the Motta Hutte restaurant which is about halfway down.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>Strong intermediates who are staying for a full week might exhaust the limitations of its piste network, but other activities in Arosa include cross-country skiing, skating on the frozen lake (ice permitting), tobogganing, snow-shoeing and winter walking. At other ski resorts, these are fringe activities, but in Arosa, they are offered as a core part of the holiday experience.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docTitle\"} -->\r\n<h2 id=\"section-advanced-expert-skiing-in-arosa-lenzerheide-4\">Advanced &amp; Expert Skiing in Arosa-Lenzerheide<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docStandFirst\"} -->\r\n<p><strong>Compared to other big-name resorts the Arosa ski area is small, 60kms of marked pistes including just a dozen reds and a few blacks, which is easily skied in a day by advanced skiers and aggressive intermediates but there are quite good off-piste opportunities.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docBodyText\"} -->\r\n<p>The whole ski area is a bowl and advanced skiers and boarders will be quick to identify the wealth of accessible easy off-piste skiing between the marked runs.

As a smaller resort with fewer guests, the off-piste doesn&#8217;t get tracked quite so quickly which is another plus factor, but even when it&#8217;s been tracked, it provides a useful transition for early-stage off-piste skiers whose confidence and comfort zone may be boosted by the knowledge that others have gone before.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_73227\" style=\"width: 1190px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73227\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73227\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli-\u00a9-Arosa-Bergbahnen-AG.jpg\" alt=\"Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli \u00a9 Arosa Bergbahnen AG\" width=\"1180\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli-\u00a9-Arosa-Bergbahnen-AG.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli-\u00a9-Arosa-Bergbahnen-AG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli-\u00a9-Arosa-Bergbahnen-AG-530x353.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli-\u00a9-Arosa-Bergbahnen-AG-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli-\u00a9-Arosa-Bergbahnen-AG-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-73227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arosa_Ski_Area_Slopes_at_Hornli \u00a9 Arosa Bergbahnen AG<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>The best on- and off-piste skiing is usually found on H\u0151rnli on the left-hand side of the ski map which is accessed by the H\u0151rnli express gondola and the H\u0151rnli chairlift. Once at the top you can boot up a hundred metres to H\u0151rnlihut for a drink (are you really that thirsty?) or choose between three central red runs and two easy blues on either side of the reds.

Less easily reached are the off-piste pitches that descend the left and right side of the unnamed peak directly above the Plattenhorn chair. You have to hike across and up from Blue 4 on the H\u0151rnli side and in good snow conditions (meaning safe as well as fresh) you&#8217;ll see local skiers and boarders cutting impressive lines.<\/p>\r\n<p>Very much easier to get to and just as rewarding is the area to the left of the rising H\u0151rnliexpress gondola and beneath the east-west rocky Tschierpa ridge which can be seen (but is not named) on the far left-hand side of the ski map. The higher reaches can be reached by booting up a ridge at the top of the gondola but it&#8217;s easier to take a lower line (skiers right off the H\u0151rnli blue 1) and then enjoy the rolling off-piste pitches down to Schwellisee where it&#8217;s flat and a slow ski slide or walk across the frozen lake but if in doubt about the ice better to ski or walk the left-hand side around the lake.<\/p>\r\n<p>Back over on Weisshorn, experts can drop in under the cable car or traverse lower down and drop in from red 7 but if skiing this kind of terrain be sure to hire a local guide with a good understanding of snow conditions and which slopes are prone to slide. Some of the east-facing slopes can be risky and a good guide knows which slopes to avoid. The same is true of the northeast-facing slopes near Schwellisee Ski. The whole ski area including the area between the runs looks quite safe, but it&#8217;s worth remembering that the old Carmenna chairlift was twice taken out by avalanches inside the ski area so better safe than sorry, take a guide!<\/p>\r\n<p>The run back down from Tschuggen to Arosa is scenic and not much more if you are a strong skier or boarder, but it is possible to ski down through the forest if you know the routes or more easily you can ski the break between the trees under the Tschuggen Ost chair back to Arosa.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you&#8217;re a strong off-piste skier not averse to skinning up some long uphill stretches you can hire a guide and ski off-piste from Arosa via Maiafelder Furka to Davos and then ski back to Langweis where you can catch a train back to Arosa. Other day tours off-piste include ski descents off the back of Plattenhorn, H\u0151rnli or Carmenna Pass to lift-served skiing at Tschierchen then work your way back to the H\u0151rnli.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docTitle\"} -->\r\n<h2 id=\"section-boarding-freestyle%c2%a0in-arosa-lenzerheide-5\">Boarding &amp; Freestyle\u00a0in Arosa-Lenzerheide<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docStandFirst\"} -->\r\n<p><strong>The centre stage for boarders and freestylers is Arosa\u2019s massive half-pipe next to the Tomeli draglift on Tschuggen.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"umbracoPropertyAlias\":\"docBodyText\"} -->\r\n<p>If you&#8217;re inexperienced at pipe riding and unable to ride the high side walls with confidence it is an intimidating sight, but for advanced terrain park riders, it looks a lot of fun, and challenging.<\/p>\r\n<p>Experienced boarders will relish easy access to the off-piste pitches between marked runs and for the same reason, conditions permitting Arosa is a good place for intermediate riders to learn the art of riding deep snow, but at the other end of the spectrum its fair to say that Arosa is not an ideal place for novices to learn to board.
