On the whole, Switzerland is tolerant and gay-friendly, especially in more urban and diverse areas. Zurich, Geneva, and Basel are the centers of gay life in Switzerland, although ski resorts such as Zermatt, Lenzerheide, and Arosa are also popular destinations (mostly in winter), even hosting gay ski weeks.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights in Switzerland are relatively progressive by European standards, although LGBT people lack full legal equality. Its history is one of liberalisation at an increasing pace since the 1940s, in parallel to the legal situation in Europe and the Western world more generally. Legislation providing for same-sex marriage and IVF access will enter into force after a likely referendum in 2021.

My husband and I were delighted to take part in our first visit to Arosa Gay Ski Week. We decided to treat ourselves to a stay at the Tschuggen Grand Hotel. The rooms, food, transportation to and from venues, help with cash, and helpful advice were wonderful. However, the staff is what made this experience magical and special. I will return again next year.
The rooms are spacious, have wonderful views, felt comfortable and most importantly were QUIET. This is a hotel designed properly and where you can actually go to sleep without hearing people upstairs or pipes clanging.
The pool and spa area was a highlight. It’s really well designed and the perfect place to relax after a big day skiing. So cool that the pool is also outside and the sauna area is really good.
The Tschuggen Express and ski rooms are just wonderful, making the whole skiing experience so much better. Everything is dried in the morning, there is plenty of room and the onsite ski shop is excellent.
The overall atmosphere of the hotel is very welcoming and it feels like coming home when you walk in the door. That along with the quiet rooms, great pool and perfect location will see us always coming back here when in Arosa.
The hotel from the outside is not all that exciting, bar the beautiful spa with its colourful sail windows in the evening, but once inside it is very grand. We were given a guided tour of the hotel on arrival, after being picked up by the hotel concierge from the train station in Arosa. We were shown to our room and shown the spa area and where breakfast was served. The whole hotel is stunning, laid back, quiet, calm and cozy.
We had a Deluxe Queen size south facing room, which is more than ample for a long weekend away. The views of the mountains all day long were beautiful. The room is decadent. The bathroom is wonderful and the underfloor heating is a welcome treat after spending the day walking around in the snow. A selection of chocolates and treats were in the room on arrival. The balcony was nice to experience the bracing morning air (minus 14 odd whilst we were there) and the sun loungers were nice to sit on with a big blanket over us whilst looking at the view.
The spa is beyond amazing. The architecture is incredible; the granite walls are elegant, and the pool is stunning. We used the pool, sauna and steam rooms. Being a typical British couple we were a little surprised to find that most people removed their bathing attire when visiting the sauna area, but we left a towel on as this was more comfortable for us.
Breakfast was really nice – a very large selection, including Gluten free options for myself which were delicious. The restaurant area was very relaxed and we enjoyed spending time eating breakfast in no hurry.
Most of the guests were skiers, but we have never given this a go so we went to Arosa to enjoy the views and to make the most of the well maintained walking routes around the peaks. The Tschuggen express was really fun (although they have changed the cars now so they self level) and was handy for getting up to the Tschuggen area of the resort.
The Tschuggen Grand Hotel is simply amazing. The very warm welcome, a General Manager that you always find in the Lobby to care of his customers, the beautiful and cosy design features in all areas of the hotel, great food and beverage outlets, super Spa and moreover a ski lift right in front of the hotel’s door to take you up the mountain. Finale with a Tesla Transfer to the train station. This is a hotel, suitable for people you enjoy luxury at its best.

Seehof is about an eight minute walk from the train station, but the hotel will pick you up and take you there at no charge on request. Since we were just off season, we were given an upgraded room, which included a large balcony shared by three rooms (both of which were unoccupied on the two days we were there). We had beautiful views of the mountains and part of the town.
The room was quite spacious, the bathroom well appointed, and there are plenty of electric outlets, plus secure wi-fi. Breakfast was served starting at 7:30 and it was done in a large comfortable dining room with excellent selections of fruit and juices, cheeses, meats, yogurts, cereals (including muesli), boiled eggs, and a nice selection of beverages. People at the front desk were always helpful and the room comes with a tour card which gives you free passage buses and cable cars.
Our room had a large balcony which is perfect for some relaxing hours in the sun after skiing with a nice mountain panorama. Overall the room is large for the price category and left nothing to be desired.
The common areas are very welcoming and many guests enjoy staying in the lobby to read, play board games or have a drink or two in the evening.
The food choices are good, and the hotel has two restaurants for the evening – a cosy Mexican restaurant (that is somewhat of an institution in Arosa at this point after being around for ~15 years) and the Osteria which serves more local cuisine. The breakfast buffet is generous with very high quality regional products.
Always great to come back and looking forward to next year.

This hotel has one of the best positions in Arosa. Ski in and out fantastic.
The rooms are nice dated but clean. We had rooms in the old part very dated and in the new also dated but better.
Rooms were always cleaned well and the staff friendly.
The rooms, bar and restaurant are all fantastic and great quality. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. The spa and swimming pool are perfect for relaxing after a day of skiing.
One of the things that most stands out about the hotel is its location. It is always great to find a hotel that you can ski either to or from the door, but here (since it is located in the woods on the main piste down into town) you can do both, rather than just be located very close to the lifts which is often what you find with “ski to door” hotels. It couldn’t be more convenient.
I couldn’t have better things to say about Waldhotel. Their motto is “it feels like coming home” and it honestly does.
We choose the 1/2 board option and enjoy a fantastic breakfast – eggs, meat, breads, and fruit – and 5 course dinner including a salad bar. The live piano music at dinner and in the bar dinner was a real treat. Went trail running and took advantage of the bike rentals (mountain and e-bikes) during the day and returned to enjoy the pool (rectangular so it is possible to do some laps – I’m a triathlete) and lovely, newly renovated spa in the afternoon.
The staff are extremely friendly and go out of the way to make the guests feel special. They manage the balance between an intimate family hotel and a classy resort perfectly. Can’t wait to return.
The food is excellent and the wine list is incredible. The last time I was there in Winter, and now in Summer time. The summer is worth a stay at the Waldhotel, alle the staff has a lot of time for you.
Food as ever was excellent with friendly and efficient service in the restaurant; bar service a little less consistent and surprising to be out of Gordons AND Bombay Sapphire on our last night! The spa is lovely and the hotel is so well located for skiers and walkers alike being right beside the main run into Arosa and at the heart of the fantastic network of footpaths.
