Bosco Gurin – Grossalp
Bosco Gurin – Grossalp is a ski area in the Swiss canton of Ticino, above the Walser village of Bosco Gurin, the highest village in the canton at 1,506 m. The area offers around 30 km of downhill pistes served by two 4-seat chairlifts, three ski lifts and two magic carpets, reaching Sonnenberg at 2,500 m, Guriner Furka at 2,360 m and Rossboda at 2,000 m. Skiing, snowboarding and freestyle are complemented by a Swiss ski and snowboard school, a children's area with magic carpet, a 4 km sledging run and winter hiking. The historic village is known for its Walser culture, the Ggurijnartitsch dialect and the Walserhaus museum.
Families and Kids
Near the chairlift departure there is a children's area called Kid's Village with a magic carpet for learning to ski. The Swiss Ski School Gadumdschi Team offers lessons, and a 4 km sledging run leads from Rossboda down to the village. A small natural ice rink at the foot of the village is open from December to March.
Food and drinks
The Hotel Ristorante Walser at the entrance to the village has a large restaurant with a typical wooden dining room and open fireplace, plus an American bar. The Ristorante Pizzeria Rossboda sits at the top of the chairlift at 2,000 m with a panoramic terrace over the valley. A Bar Rovana next to the ice rink serves warm drinks.
