Hotels Lenzerheide, ski holidays Lenzerheide

Lenzerheide by Swiss standards is a large resort with 37 lifts that offers skiers an incredible 1,899 metres of vertical descent on 155 kilometres of pistes. Lenzerheide is best suited to beginner skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for both expert and intermediates. For snowboarders, there is a terrain park.

Lenzerheide is a spa resort and lies at the top of a mountain pass near Chur in Eastern Switzerland. The ski area is shared with Valbella, the the two villages being once separated by the Heidsee Lake but expansion along the lakeside has seen the two areas virtually merge into each other. Hotels are built in the traditional Swiss style and their setting is stunning with lake, woodland and mountain views. Aside from alpine pistes Lenzerheide-Valbella has more than 50 kms of prepared cross-country tracks and more than 85 kms of signposted hiking paths for the pleasure of long winter rambles.

For those looking for a traditional resort away from other British skiers then we highly recommend Lenzerheide.

Resort Restaurants

Lenzerheide is a very traditional Swiss resort and its restaurants reflect this. There is a nice array of small Swiss restaurants serving specialities such as potato Rosti dishes and Swiss cheese fondues. La Riva is one of the most popular, with its breath-taking backdrop of the mountains, this long established (over 30 years!) restaurant is a favourite amongst holiday makers and locals alike. The produce is fresh daily and the menu is full of creative Swiss delights, along with an extensive wine list this restaurant makes a lovely evening out from your chalet or hotel.

Mountain Restaurants

Lenzerheide has many great places to try for your mountain lunch. The standard is generally good and there is a large number for you to choose from. The one which comes most highly recommended is the Gilerrestaurant Piz Scalottas (located at the top of the Scalottas lift). This traditional, rustic restaurant is known for its beautiful Swiss culinary dishes and friendly service. The restaurant is has a very cosy interior and is the perfect place to come and defrost and refuel after a busy morning on the mountain. The menu consists mainly of traditional Swiss specialities but also has a few hints of Asian flavour which adds a bit of variety to the normal alpine lunch menu. Piz Scalottas can get busy so it may be worth asking your chalet host to book you a table.

Apres Ski

Lenzerheide's apres ski revolves mainly around it numerous hotels and even then it's not a major part of the day here. Although the odd busy bar can be found. The cinema club in Kurhaus Alpina is one of the busiest of the bars in Lenzereide and is a good place to have a dance. For more of a chilled out apres ski head to the lounge in Hotel Schweizerhof.
