Anyone in Arosa should visit the Bear Sanctuary. It's very interestingly designed, but at times, the things bears sometimes have to endure are also depressing.

The Arosa Bear Sanctuary gives bears a second home and allows them to enjoy a wonderful second half of their lives in a species-appropriate manner. Currently, four bears call the Bear Sanctuary home. Clà Ferrovia also visited the bears and set up a post. Can you find it?
