OUR HISTORY SINCE 1888

Did you know that the Hotel Lenzerhorn Spa & Wellness is one of the oldest buildings in Lenzerheide? The hotel’s foundation walls date back to 1888!

People holidaying on the Lenzerheide plateau a hundred years ago enjoyed the peace and solitude of the mountains. The first photos of Lenzerheide generally depict Alpine meadows, the two hotels on Julierstrasse, the spa and the Lenzerhorn mountain.

Tourism became fashionable, largely thanks to the English, who were enthusiastic travellers. And this gave the fledgling holiday destination of Lenzerheide the boost it needed.

A WINE CELLAR WITH A LONG HISTORY

Originally a coal cellar, this room has been a storeroom for all kinds of things over the course of its 135-year history. In 2004 the Lenzerhorn crew bit the bullet and cleaned, hammered, sanded, shovelled, plastered and painted the walls, giving every last corner the unique flair it has today. A traditional wine cellar that’s well worth a visit.
