Arosa Bärenland
A brown bear sanctuary at about 2,000 metres, housing bears rescued from circuses and other harsh conditions; free to view.
Run by the animal protection organisation Four Paws, the sanctuary covers about 3 hectares on the hillside near the middle station of the Arosa cable car, where the rescued brown bears live in a natural environment. You can watch the bears from viewing paths and platforms. Entry is free, but a cable car ticket is required. It is open roughly June to October and closed in winter, when the bears hibernate. It can be combined with alpine hiking in Arosa.
Opening hours
Approx. Jun–Oct 09:00–17:00
