The Arosa Bergbahnen AG informs about a first interim result as of 31 March 2022 for the expiring business year 2021/2022. A remarkably successful business year is emerging, which could not have been expected to this extent under the influence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Favourable atmospheric conditions for technical snowmaking, numerous sunny days and few stormy days, a reliable home market and appropriate corona protection measures resulted in favourable conditions for an excellent winter in the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area.
Outlook for the 2022/2023 business year
According to Philipp Holenstein, CEO of Arosa Bergbahnen AG, one can look to the future with optimism and courage. «After a breather in investment activity in the past year, performance development on the mountain is picking up again. A total of CHF 6.64 million is planned, including the slope/terrain correction with replacement of the snow-making system on the important piste 9a between Carmenna Mitte and LAW Mitte for CHF 3.5 million." In mountain gastronomy, Arosa mountain railways is investing in a food container at the Brüggerstube for a take-away offer in summer and winter and in a new terrace floor as well as in the room acoustics of the 360° panorama restaurant Weisshorngipfel (total TCHF 350). The obligatory revisions of the railway facilities, including the overhaul of the 1st section LAW, will cost CHF 700,000, and the replacement of a snow groomer will cost CHF 600,000. "With the partial revision of the local planning for Arosa East, we are creating the basis at the level of land use planning to continue on the successful path of further qualitative development and improvement of the snow sports offering in a multi-year staged plan,» says the mountain railways managing director with conviction.
In 2026/2027, the next major investment will be the replacement of the Hörnli Express gondola lift.
