Arosa is a railway station on the Chur-Arosa line (the "Arosabahn") of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB). It is situated in the town and resort of Arosa, close by to the Obersee (one of the lakes in the vicinity).
The station is the upper terminus of the line. A 299m long tunnel takes the line under part of Arosa as it ascends to the station. There is a large goods yard just beyond the station at the very end of the line.

The base station of the cable car up the Aroser Weisshorn is situated very near to the station. Cable cars arrive/depart every 20 minutes during daytime for much of the year.[1]
