Description

A beautiful hike from Prätschli first leads up through a dreamy spruce forest to the middle station of the Arosa-Weisshorn cable car. On this first part of the hike you have a great view towards the alpine settlement of Medergen west of the "Strelakette". From the tranquillity of the forest you reach the busy ski area, where you will also find the Arosa Bear Sanctuary. The trail continues through the middle of the snow sports area, past the "Bergkirchli" (small church) and local history museum "Heimatmuseum" and finally into the village of Innerarosa. A visit to the church dating from 1493 is worthwhile: it is the oldest building in Arosa. From this contemplative place you can enjoy a view of the Erzhorn, Arosa's emblem, and the highest mountain in the region, the Arosa Rothorn (2980m). In the historical museum you can learn everything about the history of the Grisons mountain village - a great day out even when it's snowing. Along the way, various restaurants and mountain huts invite you to stop for a snack.

Zoo and Zoo Arosa Lenzerheide

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!
