Arosa
Newest Review: ... to Arosa. The track was built in 1912 and winds its way up the valley - terminating in Arosa itself (1800m up!) - in the snow it was the most picturesque train ride i've ever had - takes a little over an hour. The resort I would describe as small/medium - and is split between Arosa and Inner-Arosa. It's got everything a winter wonderland setting should have.

It lies at the head of a long winding valley, about 20 miles from Chur, the cantonal capital. Arosa is about an hour and a half by hire car from Zürich Airport, or almost three hours by train with a change at the main station in Zürich and another change in Chur. Arosa is one of the resorts favoured amongst the middle class Swiss.
