The valley features two main bases, Lenzerheide and Valbella on the opposite side of Heidsee Lake, with chalets and small family-run hotels scattered throughout.

To the west lies the main area of local slopes, a network of blues and reds linked by fast lifts, and to the east lies steeper slopes – including the World Cup Downhill run – and crucially the link up and over to Arosa. All of the major lifts in the valley are linked by a regular, free bus service which makes getting around easy. The best way to experience this fantastic resort is with Ski Club Freshtracks this winter, on one of our two Luxury Lenzerheide trips.

Pros and cons

Varied linked ski area with Arosa
Good beginner facilities in the valley
Lots to do away from the slopes

Some of the lower runs can suffer in the sun
Link to Arosa can close in high winds
Buses required from most accommodation to access lifts

On the Slopes

There are several beginner areas in the Lenzerheide valley, but best of all is the Kinderland Auarara, a quick hop on the bus from the centre of town. From here there is some good progression on to longer blues at Tgantieni and above Parpan further along the valley. Intermediates will love the cruisey terrain to the west of the village, but will also want to explore the full linked area with Arosa – just watch out for the steeper pitches at Urdenfürggli on the way home.

Advanced and expert riders will find some good steep runs off the Stätzerhorn lift above Parpan, but will otherwise want to stick to the east side of the valley. Here there is some very good off piste after fresh snowfall, as well as the World Cup Downhill run. The off piste below the Weisshorn in Arosa and off the newly revamped six-seater Brüggerhorn lift is also well worth exploring.

In the Resort

Accommodation is mostly in smart, family run hotels and most are connected to the lift network by the efficient bus service. Restaurants tend to be hotel- focused, but there is lots of good Swiss fare on offer. On the après ski front, things tend to be quiet, but the Freeridebar at the foot of the racetrack can get lively at times.

This is a great place for a family holiday or for a group with non-skiers. There is a vast network of winter walking trails, particularly on the west side of the valley and by the lake, and the resort is home to some great tobogganing routes. In addition there is ice skating and curling, whilst the sports centre is reportedly excellent.

Getting to Lenzerheide

Zürich is a quick hour and a half drive away. Alternatively you can catch the train to Chur and jump on a bus up to the resort. Friedrichshafen airport in Germany is a good alternative and the drive is a similar length. Basel airport is around two and half hours away.

Zürich airport: 1.5 hours (driving) or 2.5 hours (public transport)
Friedrichshafen airport: 1.5 hours
Basel airport: 2.5 hours (driving) or 3.5 hours (public transport)
Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (565 miles)

Season Dates

Opens: Partial opening from 30 November, Full-time from 20 December 2024
Closes: Partial closing from 7 April, Fully closed from 21 April 2025

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 07/04

After a good couple of weeks for the Swiss Alps, particular after the arrival of a series of Nordstau events, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.

Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the Swiss Alps.

A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
