The road to Arosa from Chur has over 360 bends so, if you are driving, be prepared to concentrate! If this sounds too much, the train is super simple too.

Arosa never disapoints - in a bowl with wide views from Davos to Lenzerheide, lakes and rocky cliffs, it has the feel of the Canadian Rockies. This reasonably short hike goes past two lakes with plenty of great spots for a picnic lunch. We arrived at Älplisee as the sun came out and the colors were amazing.
