Lenzerheide is a bit of a Swiss obscure, which at the same time had a real hype a few years ago. Historically, their marketing has not been as successful as other large cities and there are relatively few foreigners who go there. Among the Swiss, however, the resort is better known, among others the Swiss tennis star Federer has built houses here. Since the 2013/2014 season, the village's ski system has been connected to the neighbouring village of Arosa via the gigantic gondola Urdenbahn. The gondola stretches all the way across the Urden valley that separates the two villages, and in order to protect the nature of the valley, the gondola goes directly from end to end station without any pylons in between.
The village of Lenzerheide itself is located at the southern end of the Heidsee. Haidsee is the beautiful lake that has made many Swiss people know the resort, as the lake itself has become something of a tourist destination. The ski system extends up both sides of the valley and provides access to a large part of skiing in both east and west directions. In the summer, mountain biking is big in Lenzerheide.
