Visitor Reviews of Arosa
myko from United Kingdom writes:
Arosa is a lovely place to ski. Great for families with varied slopes including a snow park and tracks through trees that little ones love. The shops are limited for gifts and it feels retro rather than traditional Alpine, yet Arosa has beautiful views which make up for this. Eating out is limited and quite expensive. Few places meant we found it hard to get a table in the village at lunch times, yet up the mountain was fine.
