The majority of the 70km of pistes are best suited for beginners and intermediates, and experts will have to be satisfied with a few blacks and off-pistes that can be found. Arosa is a great family holiday destination, which is very friendly and traditionally Swiss. This is a perfect place for beginners who want a full Alpine experience.
