Formerly a mere transit location between Chur and Tiefencastel, Lenzerheide, located at an altitude of 1500 metres above sea level in a high valley, has been a popular winter and summer health resort for families and sports enthusiasts for some time now. The smaller holiday resorts of Parpan and Lantsch/Lenz are located in the same high valley.
The varied options available for families and the comprehensive childcare services have been awarded the „Families Welcome“ quality label. A great number of family-friendly hotels and holiday apartments offer accommodation to suit every budget.

Twice the sun. It is said that there are two sides to everything. Lenzerheide is no different, except here, both sides are sunny. We are referring to the two sides of our valley: a sun-soaked winter paradise with 155 km of perfectly-prepared slopes at snow-friendly altitudes of 1230 to 2865 m above sea level. In no time at all, 40 modern transport facilities zip you to a wide variety of downhill runs, sunny panoramic terraces and cosy Alpine huts.
