Ski & Snowboarding in Arosa, Switzerland - Perfect for a Short Ski Break

As a classic short ski break resort, Arosa in Switzerland has plenty to offer, including some of the best cross country loops in the Alps. And if you are after a snowboarding weekend break then you will not be disappointed with this resort either. The area houses specialist snowboarding schools and is also a highly popular hiking destination (there are the same number of hiking trails as there are pistes).

Arosa is the perfect short ski break destination for intermediate skiers and it is also a great choice for a ski weekend for beginners due to its nursery slopes benefiting from reliable snow. Gentle slopes will get you started and then you can cruise all over the mountain. The resort's terrain park is great for beginner freestylers and the new half-pipe is another great draw for snowboarders.

The resort hosts a number of events, including the World Junior Half Pipe Championships and the 2007 FIS Snowboard Championship. Rock concerts, top DJ sets and hip hop events make this a destination worth visiting for many more reasons than skiing alone.

Accommodation is plentiful and if you are looking for luxury on your short ski break then the Hotel Eden provides just that. Boasting cutting edge interior design and truly splendid rooms, Hotel Eden is not cheap but with good reason. There are of course many more hotels and alternative accommodation to choose from. Visit Arosa for a short ski break and you will be spoilt for choice.

Eateries are plentiful, giving you plenty of options for post-ski nourishment and relaxation. Bars, pizzerias and mountain restaurants let you choose traditional or international cuisine alongside a beer or two. Après ski venues are also numerous and you can dance the night away at a choice of lively bars and clubs.
