About Churwalden
Churwalden lies on the main road from Chur towards Lenzerheide. It has a former monastery whose church dates mostly from around 1500, with late Gothic altars, and a Gothic painting from about 1335. Its own lifts take you to the Pradaschier mountain, which has a toboggan run, a rope park, a zipline and a mountain restaurant. Four of the ski area's lifts are in Churwalden, including the Heidbüel gondola and the Pradaschier chairlift. Our homes cluster in and around the village, a mix of small places and a few big enough for large groups. For the Heidsee lake and the main resort village, carry on along the same road to Lenzerheide.
