Details

Description

The panoramic tour starts in the center of Lenzerheide and first runs through the famous squirrel forest. With a bit of luck, the cute animals can be observed here. The tour then circles the Heidsee lake in an anti-clockwise direction. This opens up views of the water, the surrounding forests and the striking peaks that frame the valley floor.

After the lake, the hiking trail gradually ascends. Shortly after the Hotel Seehof, it branches off and runs through the forest up to Alp Spoina. As the altitude increases, the panorama over the Lenzerheide valley becomes more impressive. Once you reach the alp, the contrast between the cultivated landscape and the surrounding mountains is clearly visible.

From here, the trail descends back down into the valley. Along the way, the views of the mountain scenery and the village change again. The tour ends back in the center of Lenzerheide.

The route combines different landscapes in a compact form: the idyllic forest, the glistening lake, the alpine pasture with its panoramic views and the lively village. It combines short, alpine sections with gentle passages by the water, making it an impressive circular hike in the heart of the Lenzerheide vacation region.

Hidden Gem

Take a few hazelnuts with you for the squirrels.

To round off the hike, you can cool your feet in the fresh water at the Lido on the Heidsee.
