The Arosa Bear Sanctuary is an experience for young and old. The focus is on the first bear residents, Napa, Meimo and Amelia. The Arosa Bear Sanctuary gives bears rescued from poor housing conditions a species-appropriate home. Bears that used to have to live chained in a tiny, dirty cage are loved by FOUR PAWS freed from this unfortunate situation and brought to Arosa.
In the midst of the natural mountain landscape with pastures, bushes, rocks, streams and forest, the bears can learn their natural behavior. And visitors can watch them do it.
When visiting the bear platform at over 2,000 m above sea level. M. you will learn not only the stories of the bears from Serbia and Albania but also many other exciting bear facts. As a hotel guest, you only pay CHF 5.00 (instead of CHF 12.00) to access the platform, tickets can be purchased directly at our reception.
