Arosa is addictive. This, at least, is how it likes to advertise itself – and not without reason either. And criss-crossing the mountains around Arosa is a huge network of winter hiking trails. All of which offer spectacular views of the peaks of Graubünden. Nor is the trail leading down off the Weisshorn to Rot Tritt and from there on to Arosa any different. The panorama extends from the Silvretta massif at one extreme to the mighty mountains of the Graubünden Oberland at the other. The infrastructure is first-rate and the hiking trails all beautifully prepared. There are even some inviting benches on which to rest out of the wind en route. And if that doesn’t make you go into raptures…
