Arosa-Lenzerheide link opens tomorrow

The new cable car between Arosa and Lenzerheide links 225km of pistes
The new link between the Swiss ski resort of Arosa with nearby Lenzerheide opens tomorrow, 18 January.
The combined ski area will now total around 225km of pistes and 42 lifts — thanks to the construction of the new 1,694m cable car, capable of carrying 150 skiers and snowboarders per car.
The lift will connect the Hörnli of Arosa with the Urdenfürggli in Lenzerheide. In Lenzerheide, two new six-man chair lifts will be built from Heimberg to Motta and from Motta to Urdenfürggli, where you can take the new cablecar to Arosa.
A new restaurant has been built at the middle station of the Rothorn gondola in Lenzerheide, to be called Scharmoin.
The ski ticket that covers the new Arosa-Lenzerheide will also cover public transport between the two destinations — so if you enjoy après in one area, you can take the bus back to your hotel.
The project cost around around CHF20 million (£14m) and the new lift pass for the two areas will cost CHF69 (around £48) for one day, or CHF332 (£232) for six days.
Web editor Abi Butcher will be in Arosa at the end of this month, to report on the new link.
