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

Arosa Bärenland

The Arosa Bear Land is an experience for young and old. The residents, Meimo and Amelia, are at the center.
The Arosa Bear Land gives bears that are rescued from poor husbandry conditions a species-appropriate home. Bears that used to have to live chained up in a tiny, dirty cage are freed from this predicament by FOUR PAWS and brought to Arosa.

In the middle of the natural mountain landscape with pastures, shrubs, rocks, streams and forest, the bears can learn their natural behaviors. And visitors can watch them do so.

During a visit to the bear platform at over 2,000 m above sea level.M., you will learn not only the stories of the bears from Serbia and Albania but also many other exciting bear facts. Furthermore, the bear mini golf, the adventure playground at the middle station, the Weisshorn Bear and the Bärenland adventure trail inspire. The bear hunger can be satisfied in the restaurant Brüggerstuba right next door.

And by the way: Dogs (on a leash) are also welcome in the Arosa Bärenland!
