Skill Center

The perfect infrastructure for improving your bike skills

The new Skill Center at the Hörnli-Express valley station offers children in particular a suitable platform to prepare for the bike experiences in Arosa.

With four different practice trails as well as a conveyor belt, a perfect infrastructure is available for beginners. The structure of the Skill Center corresponds to the training concept of the Arosa Bikeschool, which combines bike technic with playful elements with the Bear Bike-Gang.

Beni's Loops

The loops in the Skill Center appeal to children between the ages of 5 and 7, but like all other trails, they can also be used by adults. In the trail there are a simple stone field, generous landing skids, waves/valley tracks, a simple footbridge and a seesaw for beginners.

Ella's Flow

The Flowtrail is perfectly suitable for children between 8 and 12 years and prepares them ideally for the "right Flowtrail" at the Hörnli. Corresponding approach curves and wave/valley tracks ensure the right flow. In order to keep the exercise effect high, a small jump has also been integrated.

Gian's Jumps

The two technical trails offer children between the ages of 10 and 14 tighter curves, two jumps and drops made of stone. The second trail has a single trail character, is narrower and contains tricky stone elements. Ideal for practicing single trails and a later trip to Lenzerheide to the bike park.
