Aroser Weisshorn
Weisshorn (Arosa)
A cable car runs straight from Arosa to the 2,653-metre summit, with 360-degree views over the Arosa valley and the Graubünden peaks.
The Weisshorn is Arosa's signature peak, rising to 2,653 metres. The Weisshorn cable car departs from near Arosa railway station and reaches the summit in about 15 minutes with one intermediate stop. At the top you'll find a restaurant and an observation terrace. On clear days you can see Obersee (Arosa's upper lake), the Schanfigg Valley and the distant Bernina Range. In summer, you can hike down the summit trail to the middle station or to Arosa (about 2–3 hours) through alpine meadows. In winter, the summit is the high point of the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area, with several red and black runs. The cable car closes for maintenance in spring and autumn, so check the official website before you go. From Chur, the Arosa Line train takes about an hour to Arosa. From the station, it's a few minutes' walk to the cable car.
Opening hours
Cable car runs approx. June–October (summer) and December–April (winter), approx. 08:30–16:30
