A visit to Arosa is worthwhile at any time of year; in summer the lake is very beautiful to look at, but in winter it is frozen over.

The Schatzalp and the historic hotel of the same name lie above Davos at 1,862 meters. A funicular takes you up from Davos Platz in four minutes. Built in 1900, this Art Nouveau hotel is a member of Swiss Historic Hotels and a real eye-catcher amidst the idyllic mountain scenery. The energy up here is also special: it reaches 26,000 Bovis units in certain places... Do you feel it when you start walking, or is it the espresso from the hotel bar? ;-)

You can reach the 2,653-meter-high summit of the Weisshorn either by taking a strenuous but very worthwhile hike, or by taking the cable car in a very relaxed manner while sitting down. A fantastic view in all directions awaits you at the top.
