How much time should you allow?
Over about 155 km, journey time depends on traffic around Zurich and along Lake Walen, and the weather on the Arosa road.
Normal traffic
About 2 h 10 each way between Zurich Airport and Arosa, including about 50 minutes of mountain road from Chur.
Weekends and holidays
On Saturdays and during holidays, the A3 along Lake Walen is busy: we build this into the schedule.
Snow on the Arosa road
Arosa lies above 1,700 m and the road has many bends: in snow it slows down considerably. Our 4x4s and winter tyres drive at a suitable speed.
