Audio Guide of Bergkirchli

This historic church is usually open every day during daylight hours for visitors and quiet prayer, except during private events such as weddings. It is located in the Innerarosa area, and you can easily reach it by taking the free local Arosa bus to the 'Gada' stop or by enjoying a scenic walk from the center.

Admission to visit the inside of Bergkirchli is completely free, making it a must-see stop on your route. However, if you would like to attend the classical music or organ concerts held during the season, I suggest checking the local schedule, as some may require a ticket.

It is a short but rewarding visit; 15 to 20 minutes is enough to admire its wooden architecture, frescoes, and organ. It is the perfect complement to listening to a detailed narration with an audio guide from IAudioguia.com while you observe the details.

Built in 1493, Bergkirchli is the oldest surviving building in Arosa and a key symbol of Walser settlement. Its 15th-century paintings and its resilience over time tell the story of this Alpine community's survival in Graubünden.

If you're looking for a magical experience, visit at sunset in winter, when the snow and lighting create a fairy-tale atmosphere. In summer, organ concerts are often held on Tuesdays, making the most of the remarkable acoustics of the old wood.

As a 15th-century building set on a small hill, accessibility is limited, and the surrounding ground can be difficult, with gravel or snow. You can get close by vehicle, but the final access to the interior may require assistance to manage the historic uneven levels.

Just a few steps away you'll find the Schanfigg Museum, ideal for learning more about local culture and Walser history. In addition, the church is an excellent starting point for several panoramic hiking routes toward the surrounding mountains.

I recommend bringing warm clothing even in summer, since the stone-and-wood interior stays cool, and respecting the silence of the place. To avoid missing the symbolism of the frescoes, have your tour downloaded from IAudioguia and enjoy the history at your own pace.
