Intro

The highest mountain in the Arosa region accessible by cable car offers impressive views as far as Chur and to the south across the Graubünden Alps to Piz Bernina.

At 2,653m above sea level, the Weisshorn is the highest peak in the Arosa region that can be reached by cable car. From the top, you can enjoy breathtaking views of more than 400 mountain peaks in Switzerland and neighbouring countries. The modern, futuristic summit restaurant designed by architect Tilla Theus won the 2013 architecture prize for outstanding mountain architecture.

The mountain is the ideal destination for a day on the slopes or for exploring the numerous winter and summer hiking trails. Due to the favourable wind conditions, the Weisshorn is also a popular take-off spot for paragliders.
