01/ Overview

The route

The racing slope La Pala is a true touchstone for skiers who are both physically and technically experienced. In addition to a sport challenge, skiers will also experience a dreamlike landscape on the four kilometers. Especially beautiful: the cross-country track along or on the lake Heidsee.

The four-kilometre trail starts on the Luziuswiese in Lenzerheide. The nearest bus stop, Lenzerheide/Lai, Fadail/Lido, is just over 500 metres away. The route begins by climbing across open terrain. After almost one kilometre, it reaches its highest point near Cresta Sartons at around 1'530 m.

The trail then descends across meadows towards La Riva. Between the houses, views open up towards the Heidsee, whose shore is reached just over halfway around the circuit. Situated at 1'484 m, the lake consists of a larger northern section and a smaller southern section, with a dam separating the two basins.

Beyond the lake, the trail crosses flat terrain, characterised in places by wet meadows, to the lowest point of the circuit. It then climbs gently again, passes close to the Kiosk Lido and once more crosses the open expanses. After just over an hour, the circuit ends where it began on the Luziuswiese.

03/ Conditions

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Cross-country skiing is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
