The Tschuggen Grand Hotel: A Timeless Icon
An architectural gem perched amid alpine forests, the five-star Tschuggen Grand Hotel is one of Switzerland’s most iconic properties. Originally a sanatorium in the 1930s, the building has evolved into a luxurious retreat where guests can enjoy the restorative benefits of Arosa’s crisp mountain air.
One of the Tschuggen Grand Hotel’s standout features is the Tschuggen Express, a private ski lift that transports guests directly to the slopes in minutes. This exclusive amenity ensures maximum time spent enjoying the mountains and is the only one of its kind in Switzerland.
After a day on the slopes, unwind at the Tschuggen Bergoase, a spectacular 5,000 m² spa designed by renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta. This wellness sanctuary offers an extensive treatment menu, and Powder Byrne’s Client Concierge can assist with pre-travel bookings to ensure a truly indulgent experience. New for this winter is the hotel’s remodelled gym, featuring cutting-edge facilities. In the evening, guests can savour Michelin-starred dining at La Brezza, which promises an unforgettable culinary journey.
The Valsana Hotel: Contemporary Luxury
The four-star superior Valsana Hotel blends modern chic with alpine charm, offering trendy family rooms and stylish apartments. Powder Byrne’s experienced travel consultants work closely with clients to craft the perfect accommodation set-up tailored to individual needs.
Sustainability is central to the Valsana’s ethos. The hotel’s CO₂-neutral infrastructure is powered by innovative systems such as an ice battery, geothermal energy, and heat recovery, making it one of Switzerland’s most sustainable hotels. Guests can even participate in green tours to learn more about the property’s environmental initiatives.
Dining at the Valsana is a delight. The Twist restaurant showcases a menu of regionally sourced ingredients, offering a variety of creative and delicious dishes. For a more intimate experience, Powder Byrne’s Client Concierge can arrange private balcony dining, featuring traditional fondue or raclette. Guests can also enjoy a Private Spa experience, complete with sparkling wine and refreshments—a perfect way to unwind after a day on the slopes while children are cared for by Powder Byrne’s babysitting team.
Family-Focused Excellence

Tailored for every age group, these include the pb crèche and Yeti Primer for children up to 3 years old, the Yeti Club and SnoZone for ages 4–13, and specialised teenage skiing programmes for older children. Each programme is designed to provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment, allowing parents to relax and enjoy their time on the slopes.
