25th Arosa Jazz Days 2026: four days of village jazz

The 25th Arosa Jazz Days take place from Thursday 30 July to Sunday 2 August 2026. Four days of New Orleans jazz, swing and dixieland, played across village stages and at mountain huts above the lake, with Altein a few minutes on foot from the main venues.

The festival

Now in its 25th edition, Arosa Jazz Days runs across four days, with international acts and Swiss groups playing multiple venues around the village. The programme spreads from morning to late evening: daytime sessions warm up the village cafes and bars, evening sets fill the main squares, and Sunday wraps with brunch sessions and a finale concert. Sound is acoustic and intimate at most stages and brassier at the open-air sets. Find the full day by day programme on the official Arosa Jazz Tage website, published closer to the dates.

Plan your stay

Altein, a Faern Collection Resort, sits within easy walking distance of every village stage, an easy base for the long festival weekend. Dine at one of the village restaurants and bars before the evening sets, then take in a nightcap on a panoramic terrace as the village lights come on, with a layer to hand once the sun is down. A stay from Thursday to Sunday catches the full programme. Come and spend the four days of jazz with us in Arosa.
