Arosa Bärenland

Local bear sanctuary in Arosa

Did you know that there are bears in Arosa? But don't worry! They can't be found wandering the forests but instead are at home in the Arosa Bärenland, a family favourite among the attractions in Arosa. Jambolina, Meimo and Amelia are the stars of the show here at this bear sanctuary, where visitors can learn about their stories and watch them from the viewing platform. The bear theme continues on the minigolf course and in the adventure play area. There is also a restaurant, the Brüggerstuba.

The bears of Arosa

It is home to three bears: Napa used to work as a circus bear in Serbia before being rescued and brought to Switzerland, while Amelia and Meimo were kept in a private "mini zoo" in Albania.

Mini golf

Fun for all the family

This outdoor minigolf course has a bear theme and teaches players about the eating habits of bears.

There are twelve holes to complete in order to get to the "hibernation hole" at the end. Who can make it around the course with the lowest score? Balls and clubs can be hired from the mid-way cable car station.

Adventure play area

Action for little cubs

Squeezing through tunnels, balancing along tree trunks, roaring like a bear and whizzing down slides.

The adventure play area at the Arosa Bärenland is the place for little cubs to let off steam. After all that action they will be straight off to sleep in the evening, leaving Mum and Dad time to enjoy the bar & alpine lounge at the Waldhotel.

Weisshorn Bär

The "Weisshorn Bär" on the Weisshorn mountain is a work of art and photo point with spectacular views of the surrounding region. Don't forget to grab one of the bands, write your wish on it and tie it to the bear. Who knows, it might just come true!

Treasure hunt

Find the squirrels!

Can you find all the squirrels hidden around the Arosa-Weisshorn cable car station?

Kids and adults who find all of the wooden squirrels win a great prize. There are also free sweets at the Restaurant Brüggerstuba for all those who find the squirrels and mark their position on the map.
