Discover one of Switzerland's largest ski areas

In the past, most people visiting Switzerland for a skiing trip stayed in either Arosa or Lenzerheide. Since then, the two ski resorts have been combined into one of the largest skiing areas in Switzerland. That was thanks to the construction of the Urdenbahn; a huge gondola connecting the two mountain peaks of Lenzerheide and Arosa. This gondola is quite unique as it has no support posts in the middle, which is necessary to protect the nature between the two ski areas. The end result is that Arosa Lenzerheide is now a true paradise for both novice and experienced skiing enthusiasts. Choose a skiing holiday in a cosy village like Arosa to enjoy 225 kilometres of snow-sure slopes from December to March.
