Description

The sledding run from Prätschli to Obersee is the perfect alternative to skiing in Arosa. Thanks to the free local bus, the short route back to the village can be traveled as many times as you like. At the start, the valley is wide open; Prätschli is located at the edge of the forest and offers a beautiful panoramic view of the mountain scenery of Arosa, Davos, and Lenzerheide. The view can be enjoyed on the initially relatively flat sledding slope. Here, you’ll find out the best way to steer the sled – because then it really takes off. With a fairly steep gradient, the sledding run dives into the light forest. It overcomes some sharp bends and crosses the ski slope at Scheitenböden. In a curve, the destination at Arosa station is reached. Here also ends the Chur–Arosa railway line operated by the RhB. Right next door lies Obersee, which in winter is open for ice skating and hockey depending on ice thickness. There is also the option to continue by bus to Untersee and add a descent to Litzirüti.

The sledding path includes some sharp turns and leads down through the forest on a fairly steep gradient to behind the station.

Hidden Gem

After the sledding ride, stop by the Güterschuppen restaurant right next to the station.

Safety Note

Güterschuppen Arosa

Eating in the goods shed means a lot of fire & flames. Because in our highlight, the Josper, it goes hot to and fro. When prepared in this special charcoal grill oven, temperatures of up to 350 degrees are produced. This makes meat, fish and vegetables particularly juicy and gives them wonderful precious wood aromas. So our kitchen team, around chef Martin Völker, skilfully makes the goods shed dishes fire under the grate. The menu takes you on a culinary journey through the Alps – with small detours to the Orient. You will be catered for from morning to evening, with hot and cold dishes as well as daily brunch. And even with liquid happiness you will be supplied abundantly: cocktails with and without, exquisite wines, classics and soft drinks – hot, cold, shaken and stirred we have them all! At the bar with live music, in the cozy lounge or on the terrace. A rich selection of drinks completes the menu.

Hot meals throughout: Daily Brunch until 12.00 noon (on weekends until 2 pm) / Lunch from 11.00 am – 5.00 pm / Dinner from 6.00 pm. With us, not only the Josper burns daily, but also regularly the Goods Shed Stage. DJs and bands bring the mood to our boil. We love to entertain you and never miss an opportunity.
