Arosa Ski Transfers – Private Airport Transfers to Arosa Lenzerheide
Arosa sits at 1,775 m at the end of the Schanfigg valley, reached by 30 km of hairpins from Chur — a road with more than 300 bends, and the reason many visitors take the narrow-gauge railway instead. Zurich is 164 km away, about 2 hours 30 minutes; Friedrichshafen 151 km (2 h); Milan Malpensa 238 km (3 h 25) through the San Bernardino. We drive door to door, with winter tyres and chains on board and drivers who know the road, at a price fixed per vehicle and quoted before you book, ski bags included.

Arosa began as a tuberculosis sanatorium town at the end of the nineteenth century — the altitude and the dry air were the treatment — and became a ski resort when the patients stopped coming. It sits in a bowl at the head of its valley, with two small lakes frozen through the winter and a village that is almost entirely traffic-calmed.
Since 2013 a cable car has linked it over the Urdenfürggli to Lenzerheide, making one area of 225 km of piste across two valleys — and turning a quiet, self-contained resort into one of the larger ski areas in Graubünden.
Which airport for Arosa?
Zurich (ZRH) — 164 km, about 2 h 30
The main gateway, with flights all week and long-haul connections. Motorway to Chur, then the climb: about 45 minutes for the last 30 km.
Friedrichshafen (FDH) — 151 km, about 2 hours
From Lake Constance through Liechtenstein and up the Rhine valley — quicker than Zurich when the flights fit.
Milan Malpensa (MXP) — 238 km, about 3 h 25
Through the San Bernardino from the south. Long, but sometimes much cheaper.
The road from Chur, and the alternative
The Schanfigg road climbs about 1,200 m in 30 km, on a well-engineered mountain road that is cleared and gritted daily but has a genuine reputation: it is narrow in places, exposed in others, and it is not a drive to improvise in a hire car in the dark. Our drivers do it through the season and our vehicles carry winter tyres and chains.
The narrow-gauge railway from Chur, which climbs the same valley in an hour, is the local answer to bad weather. If the road is closed for avalanche control, that is where we will put you, with your luggage, and pick you up again at the other end.

Winter, luggage and booking
Ski and board bags travel free, and the vehicle is sized to the equipment you declare. Child and booster seats are included and fitted before departure. Book early: the road up the Schanfigg limits how many vehicles serve Arosa on a busy Saturday, and they go first.
