Tschiertschen in winter
Planning your winter holidays this season? The legendary Alpina in Tschiertschen, Switzerland, is to reopen its doors in early December after an architecturally stunning upgrading to The Alpina Mountain Resort & Spa. The ambitious project was made possible thanks to CHC Chairman Teo Ah Khing, who envisioned a charming resort in the heart of the Swiss Alps for CHC members to relax and rejuvenate, away from the hustle and bustle of life. Tschiertschen, lying on the west side of the Schanfigg Valley, is back on the tourist map of Graubünden. In the past two years, the historic structure of the former Alpina Hotel, a jewel of the golden age of Swiss hospitality, has been renovated, and the hotel expanded and upgraded. You will love the warm reception and the hospitality services available.
The Alpina Mountain Resort & Spa
The Alpina Mountain Resort & Spa is a vacation hotel with an enchanting ambience in a magical location. The Alpina Mountain Resort & Spa will delight urban guests who want to enjoy themselves with a clear conscience. Keeping its ecological footprint as small as possible, the nearly 120-year-old building has been renovated on the Minergie® standard – a pioneering achievement. The kitchen prepares local organic produce wherever possible. Guests can forget about their car: the hotel allows ski-in/ski-out right from its doorstep. Twenty-eight kilometres of groomed slopes of all levels of difficulty will delight skiers and snowboarders. There is a free-ride slope extending over a thousand metres of altitude.
The historic building offers 20 double rooms, and seven spacious family and junior suites on the attic floor. The three restaurants (Panorama, Belle Époque and Tropaios Lounge) and the Alpina Bar will take guests back to the bygone era of Art Nouveau. For complete relaxation, a spa has been created in the new additions. The spa provides a Finnish sauna, herbal steam bath, bio sauna, infrared cabin, Kneipp zone, Via Mala storm path, outdoor whirlpool, relaxation room with juice bar, and two massage rooms. Be entranced by the wine-tasting cellar, the modest and airy seminar area, the spacious open lobby, and the sun terrace with magnificent views over the Alpine ranges of the Schanfigg Valley.
Tschiertschen in summer
The rustic mountain village of Tschiertschen – on a line between Arosa and Lenzerheide – has regained its appeal for tourists. In the spring of 2014, Teo had already shown how this wonderfully intact Walser village by opening Hotel Gürgaletsch had captured his heart. His saying “simply magical!” became the guideline for The Alpina Mountain Resort & Spa.
