AROSA, Switzerland – Skiers this one is for you. Over 200km of pistes are now available for one day of skiing thanks to a new connecting railway between Arosa and Lenzerheide in canton Grison.

Arosa is located at the end of the Schanfigg Valley at 1,800 metres above sea level. For skiers and snowboarders there are 70 kilometres of groomed pistes as well as a 30-kilometre freeride area and a half-pipe. 13 ski lifts take passengers to altitudes of up to 2,653 metres above sea level.

The Snowpark Lenzerheide lies at the foot of the Parpaner Rothorn.

One ticket takes you to both ski areas.
