Easter in Arosa 2027

Easter weekend, from Friday 26 to Monday 29 March 2027, catches Arosa at a rare moment. The 2027 ski season runs to 11 April, so the slopes are still open while lower resorts have closed and the valley shows its first signs of spring. Families come for both: a last few runs on softening snow, and the slower pleasures of the long weekend. Arosa Bärenland reopens for the season, mountain restaurants lay on Easter brunch, and the Rhaetian Railway runs excursions through the valleys.

Skiing over the long weekend

With the season open until April, Easter is late-season skiing at its most relaxed. The snow softens through the morning, the sun feels stronger at altitude, and the lift queues thin out. It suits mixed-ability groups: gentle spring conditions, well-groomed runs, and no rush. Many families ski until midday, then turn to the rest of the weekend.

Arosa Bärenland and Easter brunch

Arosa Bärenland, the village bear sanctuary, opens for the season over Easter, and the rescued brown bears are active again after their winter rest. The observation paths let you watch without disturbing them, and guides explain the sanctuary's rescue work. Around the mountain, restaurants serve Easter brunch with Swiss classics such as Zopf and Bündnerfleisch, best booked a few days ahead.

Beyond the slopes

The weekend rewards a slower pace. Valley villages mark Easter Monday with their own traditions, and the Rhaetian Railway runs seasonal excursions through the Albula valley, a scenic way to spend a day away from the snow. Back in the village, the days stretch noticeably longer into the evening, and the late-afternoon light over the peaks is worth pausing for.
