About Valbella
Valbella lies at about 1,500 metres between Lenzerheide to the south and Parpan to the north, with the Heidsee lake on its southern edge. About 500 people live here year-round, rising to roughly 3,000 in the winter peak. It is in Romansh-speaking territory and part of the Vaz/Obervaz municipality. It joined the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area in the winter of 2013/14 and its lifts climb to the Stätzerhorn, first opened up for skiing in the early 1960s. In summer the Heidsee has a lido and surfboard hire. Our homes are all in the village, about half with a fireplace and some with a garden. Lenzerheide, next door to the south, sits at the foot of the Parpaner Rothorn.
