Lenzerheide is a great ski resort with lots of runs and great variety of skiing slopes. Since last year there is a connection between Lenzerheide and Arosa, making the skiing options even more attractive.There are lots of activities for the non-skiers as well: nordic skiing, biathlon arena (nordic skiing and rifle shooting), ice skating or just walking/hiking on marked trails.In summer the resort offers golf, tennis, hiking and great mountain biking trails, as well as a downhill biking paradise.it is only a 90 minute drive from downtown Zurich, or you can take the train to Chur and the postal bus from the Chur train station up to the resort.
Great variety of ski pistes over a large area. Rarely feels busy. Nice selection of restaurants and great wellness at the sport centre to relax after a day's skiing.
strange spread out village, must use ski busses go get anywhere, poor snow ( ok that the resort or mountain can not help) in average- super unfriendly people everywhere- as we are keen skiers we are often in different ski resorts in Swiss alps and never have i seen such accumulated negativity.. consider Arosa, Adelboden, Klosters or lovely Zermatt instead
This is a fantastic family resort not too far from Zurich airport. It is everything you expect a village in the Swiss alps to be, cosy, beautiful and full of character. Everything is within walking distance and the ski lifts are easily accessed using the free bus service. On the downside it is very expensive but lovely for a treat!
Huge wide pistes, not many people or après ski idiots make for perfect resort for families to improve their skiing in a safe environment. The lift to Arosa means early sunshine skiing before it gets busy. Some great restaurants as well. We will be back.
great choice of different sloapes, in Valbella not much queing and the ability to visit/use the Arosa skiregion is nice as well.
Good range of slopes for all levels. Also great for snowboarders, except for the highest point where we had to unstrap and walk through the tunnels.
The two ski resorts got linked last summer with a new cable car from the top of both resorts. It meant that the ski area was now closer to 200km. Lenzerheide is a long resort down a valley with some cross links, though from our hotel it was easier to get the ski bus to the East side. At the bottom end of the valley was a scenic ride on a 3km long railway/toboggan. Great fun.Skiing was well linked and a variety of different grades made the skiing challenging enough. When we crossed the valley the following day we went to Arosa and skied that area, longer runs in sunshine was really nice. The off piste was crusting a little bit, so we mostly stayed on piste. Ate in the mountain bars and had good food. Our third day was a little mix of the two resorts.Getting across takes quite a long time and its nice to keep skiing but to do the best runs you need to ride the cable cars which in Lenzerheide were small and slow. Most of the chairs were also slow unless they had been updated to make the link across to Arose work. Enjoyed both resorts
Great town for a family winter vacation. Well managed and expanded ski area. Great facilities for cross country skiing, skating, winter hiking and walking, and sledding.
The Lenzerheide ski resort is a good size, with well connected ski areas and varied piste options. The Fadail ski area also incorporates slopes where those new to skiing can learn how to use button and t-bar lifts, as well as practise on the beginner pistes. The ski resort also now links over the mountain to the Arosa ski resort, which has further broadened the appeal of this area to skiers. On the slopes, there are a variety of bars and casual restaurants available which are easily accessed from the chair lifts. These tend to be open during the same hours as the pistes. I arranged for a ski guide to ski with me for 3 hours, and the knowledge and experience of the guide was excellent. This is definitely worth considering if you are looking to ski at the resort for the first time and/or are skiing alone. The resort also has good options for those looking for lessons and/or needing to hire ski equipment. There are different options for ski passes (daily, weekly, etc) and there is a discount given if you reuse your ski pass during the season.
