Telemark skiing is a traditional skiing technique that originated in Norway and combines elements of Alpine and Nordic skiing.

Invented by American surfing legend Sherman Poppen, the ‘snurfer’ – a snowboard without bindings – was the prototype for the snowboards we ride today. Here in the mountains of Arosa, we invite you to rediscover snurfing with us. Join hotel director Claudio Laager and head to the Kulmwiese for your first attempts on the board. Later, depending on the snow conditions, we’ll try out our skills on the deep snow slopes below the Arosa Bergkirchli.

Ice bathing offers not only an unforgettable adrenaline kick, but real health-promoting effects. The sudden exposure to cold causes the blood vessels to dilate and blood circulation to improve, meaning that blood can circulate faster, the circulation system is stabilised and endorphins are released. Together, these effects result in a lasting strengthening of the immune system. Our experts are on hand to help you get ready and make the most of your ice bath experience.
