Lenzerheide

Lenzerheide (Romansh: Lai) is a mountain resort in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland at the foot of the Parpaner Rothorn.

The village lies in a broadened section of the valley between the cantonal capital Chur to the north and Tiefencastel, beyond which are the Julier Pass and St Moritz.

The Lenzerheide Bergbahnen [de] offers access to the skiing areas of Stätzerhorn, Danis, Scalottas, and Rothorn.

[1] There are slopes approved for all FIS Alpine Ski World Cup races for women and men.

Lenzerheide was also the location where philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote his famous posthumous fragment about Nihilism.
