  • a bedroom with 2 bunk beds,
  • a bathroom with a bathtub and
  • a balcony where you can enjoy the sun from noon until sunset and
  • a designated parking spot in the parking garage.

At the front desk you may borrow board games, buy newspapers and souvenirs as well as rent modems for internet access. A small breakfast shop is conveniently located in the building where you can buy bread, butter, milk, eggs etc.

Guests have direct access to the Dieschen sports center with swimming pool, spa, wellness area, fitness room, artificial ice rink and restaurant. Tickets can be bought at the front desk.

There is a lot to do in and around Lenzerheide:

  • Hiking (106 miles of marked hiking trails)
  • Mountain biking (155 miles of marked trails)
  • Golf on one of the most beautiful Alpine golf courses in Europe
  • Watersports on the Heidsee lake
  • Fishing season runs from June to mid September
  • Bob run and rope park
  • Visit Chur, the oldest town in Switzerland
  • Take a ride on the train of the Rhaetian Railway to explore Unseco world heritage terrain
  • Day trips to St. Moritz, Zurich, Lucerne and the beautiful Lake Maggiore or Lake Lugano, all of which are not more than a two hour drive away

"The condo in Lenzerheide, Switzerland provided the perfect home base for my family of four as we explored all of the beauty and wonder of the Swiss Alps. A day trip to St. Moritz, over viaducts and through tunnels along the Bernina Express, a scenic train route that was declared to be a UNESCO World Heritage site. A gondola ride to the snow-covered peaks of Parparner Rothorn. Exploring the spectacular Viamala Gorge, carved over centuries by the Rhine River. Hiking through fields and to waterfalls and castle ruins while listening to the distant music of cowbells. Discovering quaint villages and cities like Chur, Switzerland¿s oldest city. And, because my family includes a 9-year old boy, we also enjoyed an afternoon of whisking down the mountainside on the world¿s longest ice-free toboggan run and paddle-boating on a pristine lake surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks. The condo in Lenzerheide placed us in the heart of an idyllic location and provided us with the perfect accommodations where we could rest up each night in preparation for the next adventure." (Sarah T. stayed with her family in the condo in summer 2014).
