Arosa Bear Gang: the village kids' programme
The Arosa Bear Gang is the village's supervised children's programme, run in July and August each summer. It runs every weekday from 10:00 to 17:00, splits into a morning session for under-sixes and an afternoon session for six and over, and is led by qualified kindergarten educators from the local daycare.
What the children do
Mornings are indoor and gentle: crafts, stories, games, with the four to five year-olds. Afternoons go outdoors with the older group, six years and up. Activities include visits to the fire brigade and the police, hut-building, wood carving, bear safaris, and baking sessions in the hotel kitchen. The week's programme is published in advance by Arosa Tourismus; reception can share the latest schedule.
