Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: After you clear customs and collect your luggage, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 — whichever matches your flight. You'll spot them holding a name board with your details. From there, it's a short walk to your vehicle parked nearby. No queues, no confusion, no hunting for a taxi rank.




The Route: The route follows the A3 motorway southeast from Zurich Airport to Chur, tracking the Walensee lake and its dramatic cliff faces. From Chur, the drive transforms into one of Switzerland's most memorable mountain roads — the legendary road to Arosa climbs through 365 bends over 30 kilometres, ascending 1,100 metres from the Rhine valley floor to the resort at 1,800 metres. The hairpin-studded road passes through dense forest, across stone bridges, and past cascading streams before the landscape opens up to reveal the high-altitude bowl where Arosa sits, surrounded by peaks.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 2h 20m. The motorway to Chur is fast. The mountain road from Chur to Arosa is well-maintained but narrow and winding, with 365 switchback bends. In winter, snow chains may be required — all our vehicles carry them. This road is not recommended for those prone to car sickness; an alternative is the scenic Arosa railway from Chur.

Arrival: Your driver delivers you directly to your chosen address in Arosa.

Arosa: What Awaits You

Arosa is a compact, family-friendly resort perched at 1,800 metres in a sheltered high-altitude bowl in the Graubünden Alps. The ski area, connected to neighbouring Lenzerheide since 2013 to form a combined 225 kilometres of pistes, spans from gentle nursery slopes to challenging freeride terrain. The Weisshorn (2,653 m) offers a panoramic summit restaurant with 360-degree views stretching to the Austrian and Italian Alps. Arosa's defining character is relaxation — the Tschuggen Bergoase spa, designed by star architect Mario Botta, is one of Switzerland's most striking wellness facilities, with its crystal-like structures emerging from the mountainside. In summer, the bear sanctuary on the Arosa Bärenland is a popular family attraction, rehabilitating rescued bears in a natural alpine environment. The Obersee and Untersee lakes offer tranquil walking circuits within the village.
