Arosa can be discovered on foot on the excellently prepared paths while walking or winter hiking. Arosa has more than 60 km of prepared walking and winter hiking trails that lead through the middle of the lively snow sports area to all the mountain huts or through snow-covered forests. Pedestrians also have the opportunity to linger in all the cozy, serviced huts.
The Arosa - Prätschli - Maran - Arosa hiking route is the perfect way to get a breath of fresh mountain air and enjoy the magnificent view. Behind Arosa railroad station, the path leads up to the Waldhotel, through the forest higher and higher until you reach the road again and have already reached the highest point on the Prätschli. Past the Hotel Prätschli, the path leads downhill again and now offers a view over the cross-country ski trails of Maran and the Walser village of Medergen on the opposite side of the valley. If you still have some energy left, you can extend the tour a little from Prätschli and climb further up towards Arlenwald, then walk via Maraner Hüschi to Maran. In Maran, it's worth stopping off on the sun terrace of the Hof Marans or the isblaatere. The way back to the village leads along the Eichhörnliweg. Here, the fluffy little animals, which venture very close and eat right out of your hand, delight visitors of all ages.
Our tip: Ask at our reception desk for the popular Eichhörnli favorite nut mix.

...because here the view of the Arosa mountains is the most impressive, the sun shines the longest and the peaks glow the most beautifully.
*except during the high season
Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the untouched winter landscape above Arosa - the Prätschalp snowshoe trail (no. 597) is perfect for this. Starting from the hotel, the tour first leads along the cross-country ski trails through the forest and beyond the tree line. Several times along the way, a unique view of the long valley of Schanfigg and the mountain landscape of Arosa opens up. At the rustic and cozy Prätschalp, you have reached the turning point and the halfway point of the tour. In summer, around 100 cows are grazed here by farmers from Chur. The route then climbs a little further towards Ober Prätschsee. Not far from the lake is the Guisanplatz. General Henri Guisan (1874-1960) attended a 1 August celebration here during the Second World War. A memorial plaque commemorates this historic event. The path leads gently downhill back to the hotel.
