Things to do in Canton of Graubunden, Swiss Alps: The Best Ski & Snowboard Areas
Quaint alpine villages and great skiing entice travelers to the Grisons. The sparsely populated region of eastern Switzerland contains the source of the Rhine and Inn rivers, 140 square miles of glaciers and dense pine forests. Join the ski action at the resorts of St. Moritz, Davos and Arosa or stake a lofty claim with a visit to Juf, which boasts the highest altitude of any inhabited village in the Alps. In summer, take a hike through the Engadine Valley in the unspoiled beauty of Swiss National Park.

I took x3 morning lessons with the skiing instructor Nick (9am-12 noon). For someone who hasn’t skied in over 8 years Nicks patience and ability to read how well your getting on to be able to challenge you but not ever do it was excellent. His personality and charisma will make any student of his at ease. A friendly and motivated person (also speaks three languages I believe, English, Dutch and German). We arranged to meet at the ski shops prior to getting onto the slopes and nicks punctuality every morning and ability to adapt to starting times was great I.e 7am/8am/9am. We started on the basic learning slopes and re-learned techniques, how to position skies and gained a fundamental understanding of stopping and starting. By the end of the first day Nick took myself up to the blue slopes. We managed a good few runs of the slopes, a few bumps, trips and falls later. Nick analyses the good and the bad and positively encourages you to make the right moves. Once I had got ahold of the instructions it made the advanced slopes (red and eventually black) manageable by the third lesson. If you’re on the edge of booking a lesson or independently going on the slopes, there is only one winner... book Nick, you will not regret it! (Photo taken off the lessons attached) -Nathan

The ski resorts of Flims, Laax and Falera are combined into one magnificent winter playground for skiers and snowboarders.
Reviewed By SteveT185 - Montreal, Canada
Great ski hill(s)! The Flims/Laax/Falera ski resort is an off-piste skier or snowboarders dream, you can basically go down in almost any direction. Not many expert ski runs but this is offset by the extensive off-piste. We skied 1700 vertical feet on one run! Of course, it helped that the ski conditions were excellent this year. However, they also have excellent snow making capabilities and generally keep the runs down to 1100 metres open every season. The lift system is excellent and connects you easily to all areas and you can get back from the remotest areas with 2 lifts maximum. Nice chalets on the hill and we particularly liked Alp Nagan hut and the hut at Curnius. Overall, an excellent ski experience for all.

The snow-safe snow sports region Arosa Lenzerheide convinces with 225 groomed slopes on up to 2865m above sea level. Wide slopes for carvers or steep hills leaving burning legs make the hearts of winter sports fans beat faster. Mountain adventures such as SnowNight, full moon descent or EarlyBird create very special slope experiences. More than 40 cosy mountain restaurants and huts spoil you with a large choice of delicacies and sun terraces with spectacular views.

8. Chur-Brambruesch
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 132 reviews
Brambruesch in summertime: The cable car whisks you from the centre of Chur directly up to the high plateau of Brambruesch, where you are greeted by glorious Alpine summer meadows, beautiful flora and awesome panoramic views. In summer, you can enjoy wonderful hikes, cosy restaurants and thrilling bikeboard downhill runs, as well as the Alpine Bike Park with its downhill trails for mountain bikers. Also ideal for group excursions! Brambruesch in wintertime: From the city centre directly to a winter sports area - in Switzerland, that is only possible in Chur. With the aerial cableway, ski lift and chairlift you reach 2'200m above sea level and 20km of natural snow pistes and cosy mountain restaurants, complete with sun terraces, for bon vivants. In addition, there is a 6 km-long toboggan run, a winter hiking circuit trail and perfect terrain for snowshoe trekking. Equipment and courses available at the AIS Sports School.

We got the cable car up to Brambruesch late morning from Chur and if staying at a local hotel, may be entitled to 25% off with voucher- no harm asking from the hotel. The journey up is in 2 parts with changeover in the middle; covering probably 20 mins in total. Once at the top, you can either walk or catch the local “bus” to where the ski slopes are and the ski school. For first timers, we hired skis for CHF35 each and no time limit given, although 3 hours later, all exhausted- we returned our skis. Fun and a few thrills & spills but don’t think I’ll ever be a Molly Bloom. Was the highlight of our visit to Chur, given the season. Didn’t try out the restaurants although were told that the views were quite spectacular. Perhaps next time!

Surrounded by alpine mountains and ski slopes with hiking and mountain biking trails. It’s simply breath taking. And I would give the world for it. Quaint little village with enough places to eat. Not many though and they speak romanesh and Swiss German.
