Located above the Schanfigg Valley, to the southeast of Zürich and Chur, Arosa ski resort is accessible by road and light rail. The best way to get here is to fly to Zürich and take a train to Chur, and the light rail on to Arosa, or to hire a car. Alternatively, there is a rail connection from London and self-drive is also feasible.

The nearest international airport is Zürich International Airport which has regular and direct trains to the city of Zurich, from where hourly trains go to Chur, connecting with the Rhaetian light railway to Arosa (four hours total). For a much quicker transfer time, and if you’re not on a package holiday, it’s best to hire a car at the airport.

By car from Calais, the quickest route takes in the cities of Reims, Metz, Strasbourg, and Zürich along major autoroutes and autobahns. From Zürich, the A-3/13 autobahn goes to Chur, from where the mountain road to Arosa is signposted (984kms/ten hours).

From Zürich International Airport take the A-11 autobahn, drive through the city and on to the Chur (A-3) autobahn, and then take the winding road to Arosa ski resort (160kms/two-three hours); chains will be required.

A good train connection has a Eurostar leaving London (Waterloo) at 17:09 and arriving in Paris (Nord) at 20:59. An overnight train then leaves Paris (l’Est) at 22:42, arriving next morning in Landquart at 07:40 and then onto Chur at 07:51. The light gauge railway then carries passengers to Arosa ski resort from here.
