Description

Behind the Arosa railway station at Obersee, get on the Weisshorn gondola and get off again at the middle station. From there, turn right and after a few metres you will arrive directly at Arosa Bärenland. After you have watched the bears, you return to the Arlenwald path. After about 300m, leave the little road to the left and follow the hiking trail. From there the hike starts towards Maraner Hauptji (2157 m.a.s.l.). At the Maraner Hauptji, a wonderful view of the village of Arosa and the surrounding mountains awaits you. Even the upper Schanfigg can be seen. Once you have enjoyed the view, follow the path to Scheidegg and hike on to the two Prätsch lakes. At the upper Prätschsee there is a fireplace. From there you rejoin the well-prepared path to Prätschalp. From there there is a narrow and romantic hiking trail through nature to the Maran alpine dairy. In the alpine dairy you can get delicious cheese with milk from the four alps in the region or something to drink and eat. A little further down is the Golf & Sporthotel Hof Maran. Opposite is the start of the Eichhörnliweg. On the Eichhörnliweg there is a playground, a fireplace and lots of animals that eat out of your hand. The trail ends at Obersee, right next to the Arosa railway station and the valley station of the Weisshorn cable car.

Geheimtipp

The Weisshornbahn is located directly behind the Arosa railway station. At the station there is an overpass to the valley station.

Ausrüstung

good shoes, sporty clothes, unsalted (!) hazelnuts for the squirrels.

Amusement Park Arosa Lenzerheide

Arosa Bärenland

The Arosa Bear Sanctuary is a unique experience for young and old visitors and is located right next to the middle station of the Arosa Weisshorn cable car.

There are bears that are rescued from poor keeping conditions that are given a species-appropriate home. Bears that previously had to live in tiny, dirty cages are being freed from this unfortunate situation by FOUR PAWS and brought to Arosa. In the middle of the natural mountain landscape with pastures, bushes, rocks, streams and forests, the bears can overcome their severe behavioral problems and finally learn natural behavior. And you as a visitor can watch them do it. On the bear platform of the Arosa Bear Sanctuary, you will not only learn the stories of the bears but also learn a lot of exciting things about the biology of bears.

The bear minigolf, the adventure playground at the middle station, the Weisshorn Bear and the Bärenland adventure trail also delight. Bears' hunger can be satisfied in the Brüggerstuba restaurant right next door.

And by the way: dogs (on a leash) are also very welcome in the Arosa Bear Sanctuary!
