Staying safe on holiday
Safety concept at the Waldhotel Arosa
In spring 2020 the Swiss authorities informed the population that the measures adopted to restrict the spread of the coronavirus would be gradually eased. At the Waldhotel Arosa we welcomed this step and have been open to guests ever since, albeit with a number of restrictions still in place.
The board of directors and management team of the Waldhotel Arosa support the action of the Swiss federal government 100%. In challenging times such as these it is important to do everything in our power to limit the spread of the virus – not only to protect our own health but also to show solidarity with vulnerable members of our society.
Measures
- We adhere to the rules on social distancing and hygiene.
- In all areas of the hotel open to the public you will find hand sanitiser.
- Plexiglas screens have been installed at reception.
- Restaurant staff disinfect their hands after clearing each table.
- All members of staff who have close contact (under two metres) with guests for longer than 15 minutes – mainly staff working in the spa area –wear face masks. We also ask guests to wear a face mask during spa and beauty treatments.
- Cleaning staff always wear gloves and face masks.
- Hygiene has always been a priority at here the Waldhotel Arosa, but in light of the current situation we have now increased the intensity and frequency of our cleaning regime.
- Only 4 people are allowed to sit on one table in our restaurants (except for families).
