Aroser Weisshorn, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Aroser Weisshorn is a 2,653-meter summit in the Plessur Alps offering extensive views across the valley floor and surrounding peaks. A two-stage gondola system connects the base with the middle station, from which marked paths lead to the top and surrounding areas.
The region was first opened to visitors in the early 20th century with the construction of a cable car system reaching the summit. This infrastructure project transformed the area from an isolated alpine zone into an accessible destination for travelers.
The mountain restaurant at the summit houses Europe's highest bakery, where local pastry chefs prepare traditional Swiss bread and pastries daily.
The gondola system operates year-round, making the summit accessible in all seasons for visitors with varying fitness levels. The middle station serves as a natural starting point for hikes of different lengths and difficulty, allowing flexible planning.
The summit features a marked trail network allowing visitors to walk through different elevation zones and observe how alpine plant life shifts with altitude. This natural demonstration shows how vegetation adapts across the elevation spectrum on a single mountain.
