Gemeinde Arosa

What Gemeinde Arosa does

Gemeinde Arosa is a Politische Gemeinde (political municipality) in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, formed in 2025 through the merger of eight former municipalities: Arosa, St. Peter-Pagig, Langwies, Lüen-Castiel, Molinis, and Peist. The municipality provides statutory local government services — civil registration, AHV branch administration, construction and planning oversight, municipal policing, fire services, tourism coordination, forest and civil works, and public property management — to residents, property owners, and visitors within its territory. Its governance structure comprises a Gemeindeparlament of 14 members and a five-member Gemeindevorstand led by Gemeindepräsidentin Yvonne Altmann, supported by an administrative team of nine staff and operating from a Rathaus on Hauptstrasse 78 in Arosa with an Aussenstelle in Langwies and an Online-Schalter digital portal.

The municipality's organizational structure is divided into departments covering Finance & Administration, Construction & Planning, Tourism, Public Safety and Properties, and Forest and Works, with operational delivery supported through inter-municipal and cantonal partnerships — including Arosa Tourismus, SVA Graubünden, Zivilstandsamt Plessur, Gesundheit Arosa AG, Arosa Energie, the Regionaler Sozialdienst, Frauenzentrale Chur, and Arosa Bergbahnen AG. Funding comes from local taxes, statutory fees, intergovernmental transfers, and tourism levies governed by the 2024 Tourismusgesetz rather than commercial pricing. Recent operational priorities include integration of the merged administrative footprint, spatial planning revision (Teilrevision Ortsplanung), and regulatory support for ski infrastructure expansion by Arosa Bergbahnen AG, reflecting the municipality's central role in the Arosa tourism economy.
