WINTER IN LANTSCH/LENZ - EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES

Running. Skating. Try something new.

The vacation paradise of Lantsch/Lenz offers you a wide variety of sports opportunities in winter. With the first permanently installed biathlon facility in Switzerland, the Roland Arena is an important training and competition center for national and international teams.

The natural ice rink Lantsch/Lenz in the upper village next to the playground offers opportunities for ice skating and playing ice hockey and is a popular meeting place. 

The ice rink is open daily in cold weather from around mid-December until the end of February and is lit on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays until around 9 pm during the main season. Admission is free. There is a changing room and toilets next to the ice rink. 

With the first permanently installed biathlon facility in Switzerland, the Roland Arena in Lantsch/Lenz at around 1400 metres above sea level is an important training and competition centre for national and international teams. Major events such as the Tour de Ski are held in the Roland Arena. So athletes are made and celebrated here; countless spectators are entertained and enchanted here. 

This snowshoe tour impressively shows the violence avalanches can have: It leads to the Val Meltger suspension bridge, which was built twelve metres above the ground because of the masses of snow. Lonely forest paths and a panorama to Mon and Stierva are further highlights of the trail.

The Lantsch/Lenz ski lift is located on a sunny south-facing slope in the lower village. The small, manageable area is ideal for children and beginners. The own ski school offers playful and varied ski lessons in small groups and so huge progress can be made in a short time. A snack restaurant invites skiers and hikers alike to take a cosy breather on the sunny terrace.

You want more summer?

Lantsch/Lenz is part of Parc Ela, the largest nature park in Switzerland. The three language cultures of Romansh, German and Italian are united in the park. With its steep mountain peaks and vast landscapes surrounded by glaciers and mountain lakes, Parc Ela offers the feeling of real wilderness. In the valleys, historic villages and baroque churches recall the former importance of the trade routes over the Albula, Julier and Septimer Alpine passes. 

The most impressive way to discover the unique landscape is on foot or by bike. There are various themed trails to choose from, as well as one-day and multi-day tours. 

The spectacular Albula railway line, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an architectural masterpiece and runs right through the middle of the park. 

For culture lovers, Parc Ela offers a wide range of sights, events and cultural activities, including the annual Origen Festival.

The Roland Arena is located in Lantsch/Lenz, about five kilometers from the village center of Lenzerheide. Thanks to its multifunctional architecture, the arena has become a well-known sports hotspot and a meeting place for elite and junior athletes, recreational athletes, clubs and sports associations. All those who want to can experience the sport of biathlon for themselves in a trial course, compete against each other in the family challenge and fortify themselves with delicacies in the Bistro Bualino.

Around the middle of the 19th century, various washing and baking houses, called pastroins in Romansh, were built, which were owned by so-called baking and washing house cooperatives. In order to save the last two pastroins from decay or possible misuse, the Uniaun Pro Pastroins was founded by locals. The aim was to renovate and repair the facilities in order to return them to their original purpose. Today, they provide an insight into the village culture of the past and can be visited via the Pro Pastroins Association. 

You can make your reservation for the Lantsch/Lenz tennis facility at the Hotel Sarain.
