Chur-Arosa-Bahn - Graubünden / Grisons, CH
The Chur-Arosa Railroad – whose end stations lie approximately sixteen miles apart with a difference in altitude of 3,789 feet – was opened to the public on December 11, 1914. In spite of the fact that World War I had already begun, it was decided that the opening was crucial for a successful winter tourist season in the village of Arosa. The importance of the Chur-Arosa line for the region can hardly be overestimated: Arosa (1775m) can be reached by a long and winding road and is probably the only major Swiss tourist area where more than fifty percent of all guests arrive by train. The resort in the Grisons itself is very hilly with an amazing view down the Schanfigg Valley. Arosa offers an attractive combination of summer holiday activities and skiing, skating, curling and sleigh rides in the winter season. In the world of famous ski huts, the Carmenna is a legend and should be visited when skiing in this part of Switzerland.
