Ski-in/ski-out

Both Arosa and Lenzerheide have hotels right by the slopes; the linking cable car over the Urden pass lets you stay either side and ski the whole domain.

Get to know the resort

Since a cable car over the Urden saddle joined them, Arosa and Lenzerheide have skied as one 225 km domain on the sunny, gentle side of Graubünden. The terrain is wide, beautifully groomed and forgiving, ideal for families and intermediates, rising to the 2865 m Weisshorn with long views across the eastern Alps. Arosa keeps its smart, end-of-the-valley calm while Lenzerheide is broader and busier, two faces of a relaxed, scenic domain.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 0 green, 50 blue, 48 red and 16 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 1230 m and the top reaches 2865 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 84/100).
  • At 225 km of piste on 43 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that earns a multi-day stay.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 18 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
