Day four of our Switzerland road trip saw us leaving the stunning surroundings of Glarus and heading further into the country to experience Arosa. We only had one night booked it here and it was a fair old drive out to the hotel. There was lots of winding roads that we had to drive round which offered some truly stunning views, but were a bit of a nightmare for me as some one who gets travel sick very easily. Thankfully there were lots of lay-bys we could pull into for me to get out and stretch my legs and get over each wave of sickness.
In Arosa we had booked the night in Hotel Stoffel. It was a stunning hotel that used to be a girls boarding school. The owners were very welcoming and advised us of a route to walk to get a cable car to up the mountain top nearby. It was a short by stunning hike that probably took us about 20 minutes. It would have been quicker if it hadn't been so steep, and we were also trying to avoid the cows that were following us in places on the mountain path.
Once we made it to the cable car point, it was a quick journey up the mountain to the top where there was a restaurant and some stunning views to be enjoyed.
After we had had a lovely late lunch and admired the views, we headed back to the cable car and made our way back down the mountain. We headed down the same route we'd climbed, stopping this time to admire the beautiful cows that live on the mountain side. Everywhere you go in Switzerland, you can hear the ring of the cow bells. It was quite soothing after a while.
Further down the road we stopped at a small church, called "Bergkirchli". It was a beautiful little place that was very peaceful to visit and sit for a while. Just watching the world go by here felt wonderful. If you're in Arosa, I would definitely say Bergkirchli is worth a visit.

Our stay in Arosa was only a fleeting visit, and as our hotel was not based in the centre of Arosa, we didn't see much of the town itself. But the bits we did see were beautiful in their own right.
