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.

Sicherheitshinweis

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!
