The Urdenbahn cable car crosses from one side to the other in a few minutes, and that is the whole idea of this area: Arosa on one side, Lenzerheide on the other, 117 runs and 43 lifts on a single ticket. Steven Bergin skied here while filming a ski show and came back convinced, enough to build a group departure around it.
The canton of Grisons gets an average of 470 centimetres of snow a year, and a snowmaking network covers the rest. That is why a mid-March departure still holds up: the skiing stays consistent to the end of the season. The area covers 225 hectares and ranks among the largest linked ski areas in eastern Switzerland.
The March 12 departure gives nine days and seven nights, six of them skiing on the pass. The flight leaves Montreal for Zurich with Swiss International Air Lines, then a private coach climbs to Arosa. Steven Bergin travels with the group in French from departure to return.
The Hotel Altein, a four-star, houses the group on half board, with seven breakfasts and seven four-course dinners. Arosa keeps the alpine panoramas and Lenzerheide the livelier feel, which gives you two moods to choose from each day.

Travel insurance: cancellation, interruption, emergency medical care and baggageSynergia network group departures
Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.
What sets these departures apart
- A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
- A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
- A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
- Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it
