Small, but such a cozy and attractive resort called Arosa, located in the canton of Graubyunden. He is just a few hours drive from Zurich. This is the nearest international airport leading to the resort itself.
The most convenient option will be moving from Zurich Airport to Arosa Railway , with a change in Kura. The windows offer a beautiful panoramic view, Switzerland's landscapes are simply magnificent, because the road passes through the mountainous area. It is just a unique opportunity to enjoy nature on the road. The road takes no more than two hours. Trains depart from Zurich every hour.
From Basel, the road will take 4.5 hours, and from Friedrichshafen-4 hours.
If you leave the Zurich airport, then travel through the center of the autobahn A-11 towards the Kura. And then by indicative signs towards Arosa. Go by car I would not advise. The road takes approximately the same time as on the train, and comfort is much smaller. All because the Aros is high in the mountains. You have to go through the serpentine, which has more than three hundred turns.
If you prefer to save on the road, it will be excellent if you get a pre-swiss pass. This is a special ticket that operates in Switzerland. You simply choose a certain number of days, and the ticket can easily let you, as a foreign tourist, do not worry about the expenditures on vehicles. It includes water, bus, as well as railway transport, and on the territory of the whole country. At the same time, children who go with their parents travel completely free. Youth, age up to 26 years old, falls under certain discounts. In big cities, the cost of Swiss Pass includes the use of urban transport. For a more comfortable trip, choose the first class, and for greater economy-second. The use of such a multifunctional ticket is very convenient, it will not be necessary to count each time how much money should be left for travel in stock. But here do not include prices for the use of taxi services and lifts in the ski resorts of the country.
If you take your equipment with you, then preference is better to give the airline SWISS, which does not charge fee for ski equipment. This includes: one pair of skis, sticks and shoes per passenger; For a snowboarding board and a pair of shoes. It is very convenient and profitable, because most airlines consider equipment with oversized cargo and charge an additional fee for it. Even if there is no luggage.
As for transport in the city itself, the express bus walks along the entire resort, along the main road. You can safely get from the hotel to the lift, as well as from the hotel to any place that interests you, be it shops or restaurants. In the afternoon, the bus does not charge payments for travel, and in the evening and at night drivers take a completely low payment. After 12 o'clock in the morning and until 6 am, the passage of vehicles is completely prohibited. All for reasons of comfort and rest holidays. Therefore, if you are a lover walking late, you will have to catch a taxi or wait for an express bus.
