About Lenzerheide - presentation, information, photos and recommendations

Lenzerheide - Lively and authentic!

Lenzerheide is situated at an altitude of 1,473 m in a high valley in the Swiss canton Graubünden, approx. 20 km south of the canton capital Chur. The resort lies not far from the idyllic Heidsee and offers a view of the Parpaner Rothorn mountain, as well as a combination of tradition, richness of culture and modern infrastructure. The holiday region Lenzerheide was awarded with the seal of approval "Familien willkommen" (families welcome) and offers diverse leisure activities for parents and their children. Charming events like the Christmas market in the "magic forest" with sophisticated lighting installations are a real highlight.



There are many museums, castles and churches for you to discover. Moreover, concerts, cabarets and other cultural events are organised in the Hotel Kurhaus. The lift network Arosa-Lenzerheide is one of the most modern ski areas in Switzerland. Moreover, spa enthusiasts will find many possibilities to relax in Lenzerheide, such as the biggest Turkish steam bath in the alpine area for instance. If the weather is bad, the sports centre Lenzerheide offers a big range of indoor activities.

Ski
With the lift pass Arosa-Lenzerheide you will gain access to 225 km of pistes and 50 lifts in the largest connected ski area of Graubünden. Since the end of 2013 the ski areas Lenzerheide and Arosa are connected by the gondola Hörnli-Urdenfürggli - it crosses the Urdental valley, which was the only part of the area that kept them separated.



Arosa-Lenzerheide is situated at a high altitude of 1,229 - 2,865 m. Winter sport enthusiasts can enjoy guaranteed sunshine since the lifts are located on both, the eastern and western side of the valley. Beginners will find many blue pistes and in the children's area Auarara the little ones are entertained with a mini course and ski carousel. Nonetheless, the ski area also offers a lot of diversity for pros. The World Cup run "Silvano Beltrametti", named after a former Swiss ski racer, has an average decline of 31% and a maximum decline of 66% and makes the FIS racing track one of the most difficult runs in the world.



For speed junkies there is also the speed track Cumascheals with time tracking and the Pedra Grossa racing track. Moreover, you will find a Skimovie racing track with fully automated cameras giving you the chance to review your own run. Freeriders can look forward to several marked, unprepared ski routes on the western side of the area. On the Alp Stätz night owls can enjoy night skiing once per week on a 3.5 km floodlit run.



For the ones who prefer to explore the area at daytime there is the "Runda Lai". The track follows the cycle of the sun on the slopes from west to east and takes 4 to 5 hours to complete, depending on skill. Taking a break in one of the cosy ski huts is worthwhile, many of which offer free Wi-Fi. At the end of the day the valley runs lead directly down to Lenzerheide and Arosa.



The ski area Arosa-Lenzerheide is especially famous for its diverse piste network. Winter sport fans particularly enjoy the marvellously long runs of all difficulties with lots of space for advanced skiers and freeriders.
