You can, of course, also laze on sunny terraces in the village, shop for lovely things and enjoy many free activities with the Arosa Card - such as boat hire, swimming or sunbathing at the natural swimming and 'beach' area, and the local bus. The spectacular water show takes place every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday at 9.50 p.m. on the Obersee. It is free to watch - a collection is made for charity. In the village many interesting shops beckon. It doesn't matter if you want to treat yourself or your loved ones. There are lots of free things to take advantage of with the Arosa Card. A boat trip on the Obersee, the romantic natural swimming and sunbathing area at the Untersee with its restaurant, heated children's pool, beach volleyball and sandy 'beach'. The indoor ice rink, should the weather not be to your liking, and of course the many children's playgrounds. The Alpen Club Micky Maus (providing children's activities) can also be found in and around the village, as can the lovely picnic and grilling areas, the 18 hole golf course, tennis courts, mini golf and last but not least the village bus which delivers you comfortably to all the above places. |

Stunning hikes |

From unspoilt valleys to traditional huts! Here in Arosa you will find over 200 kilometres of maintained walking and winter hiking paths. You really should explore some of the hidden valleys in the vale of Schanfigg... magnificent nature, wooden huts and open hospitality. One recommended outing is a visit to the Lüen powerstation, which was built by Chur town in 1913. You can reach Sapün from Langwies in just about two hours. There, the mountain restaurant Heimeli also has rooms in which you can stay overnight. The ski hut Pirigen and the mountain restaurant Casanna in Fondei can also be reached from Langwies. These mountain cabins can be reached on foot from Langwies in about two hours. Another very special outing is the hike to the Walser village of Medergen, 2,000 m above sea level. The picturesque village still exists today without running water and electricity. Pay a visit to the charming Restaurant Alpenrose with its traditional specialities from the grill. |
