Off the slopes

Lenzerheide is a charming old town, while across the lake is the sleepy village of Valbella. You'll find a number of restaurants in town, serving both local and international choices, but don't expect a spectacular après-ski scene. Services include a museum, shops and a public library, while for those with young children there are kindergartens and special ski classes. Other activities include cross-country skiing (over 50km of cross country tracks), curling, tobogganing, and an indoor swimming pool.
