ok I appreciate that is a 'how long is a piece of string' question but I have heard it's a great resort but also expensive. Any tips please?

Its in Switzerland which was bloody expensive even before the Franc went through the roof :twisted:.

I haven't been to Lenzerheide itself but did ski Laax which is fairly close. We did manage to find accommodation at a reasonable enough price but it was only B&B. Dining out is expensive, especially if you want wine with your meal. Beers were also on the steep side so perhaps a country to be avoided if you want to party hard :oops: On the other hand if all you are having is a couple of beers each day, an extra €1 or €2 should not break the bank :shock:. If budget is tight, self catering should take the sting out of it somewhat :wink:. And remember, it is outside the EU, so you will be able to able to pick up duty free booze on the way over :mrgreen:

Its an interesting looking area and now that they have the new link to Arosa, they are claiming a very impressive 225km and a top lift at over 2,800m with several peaks over 2,5000m. All-in-all, I would say worth a look :roll:.

I've skied in Arosa several times and visited Lenzerheide via the old off-piste route with a guide. Nice place, very efficient life system. Expensive to eat and drink but you can pick up decent, good value accommodation through the tourist office website. You don't say where you or how you're travelling. But if flying into Zurich, the best way is by train to Chur station and then a postbus to Lenzerheide from the bus station situated on the level above the railway station.
