ℹ️ These figures refer to the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area, shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are all common. The values shown here and on the pages of neighbouring resorts therefore refer to the same ski area and the same lift pass: they should not be added together.
The 225 km, 43 lifts and lift pass shown are those of the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area, shared by Arosa and Lenzerheide. The run breakdown is given as a percentage of the kilometres for each difficulty level. Arosa sits at the end of the Schanfigg valley, at 1,775 m, reachable by train from Chur.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
The Arosa ski area, with its 225 km of runs, offers a great choice for all kinds of skiers: large enough that you won't run out of things to do during a week, yet compact enough to find your favourite sectors easily. The 43 lifts mean you can string together descents without long waits. Arosa's family reputation is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, a well-organised childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It's one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. With a summit at 2,865 m and a village at 1,775 m, snow reliability at Arosa is generally good from January to the end of March. A few exceptionally mild winters can cause difficulties early in the season, but conditions usually recover quickly once the first heavy snowfalls arrive. Budgeting for a stay in Arosa is clearly on the high side: 94€ for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It's the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short, Arosa lives up to its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
