Tschuggen Grand Hotel

The Bergoase’s glass sails glow among the snow in Arosa.

A week here, month by month

I would come to the Tschuggen to make skiing and wellness the 2 halves of a holiday. For a small house in the village centre, I would look elsewhere.

Is it for you?

For 2, I would look at the One Bedroom Mountain Suite, with a private sauna, rain shower and relaxation area.

I’d ask for
The in-room yoga kit to follow the programme on the television.
Worth knowing
The Mountain Suites occupy a separate building with their own entrance and a direct connection to the spa and hotel.

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Tschuggen Grand Hotel’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. One guest likes the location for walks between mountain huts; another describes a 20-minute walk to the centre and a free shuttle.

  2. Room

    One guest finds the bedroom clean and well equipped, with a slightly dated style. Another describes a hard mattress and hot nights.

  3. Staff and service

    8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. One guest remembers yoga classes and the spa’s cleanliness; an outside visitor describes incomplete telephone information about entry prices.

  4. Breakfast

    One guest remembers regional food and à la carte dishes on the terrace; another would have preferred different orange juice.

  5. Price

    One guest finds extras expensive; another feels that the cooking could offer more at the price.

65 guests said so on Google, from 24 November 2024 to 25 August 2026. Includes meals and visits without an overnight stay. The other hotels are assessed on the same 5 themes. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

A day at the Tschuggen

After exercise

A tailored massage

The individual massage lasts 50 minutes, with a 10-minute consultation, and costs CHF 190. I would reach spa reception 10 minutes before the appointment to discuss my needs with the therapist.

Thursday evening

A descent after the campfire

Night sledging and a campfire takes you to the Tschuggen platform for punch and mulled wine, followed by a descent to the valley. It lasts an hour and a half and is free on Thursdays; on request it costs CHF 350 for 1–2 people.

After dinner

The Tschuggen Bar has a fireplace and live music every evening. Snacks are served 11am–11pm. For cigar smokers, the Cigar Lounge has wooden interiors and walls decorated with tobacco leaves.

At Christmas

Bread over the fire

On 24 and 25 December 2026, the Grand Restaurant plans 5-course dinners with live music. On the 26th, celebrations move to the forecourt: raclette, sweets, mulled wine and bread toasted on a stick over the fire.

Before sleep

A room prepared for the night

Dream Butler combines warm foot compresses and a spa massage with preparing your room while you are having the treatment. The evening ends with a light dinner and sleep tea: CHF 390, or CHF 320 for Dine Around guests.
