Hey Eire

How did you get to Lenzerheide? I was looking on the snowandrail.ch website and it says you can take a train from zurich to chur and then a post bus for 30 mins to Canols Rothornbahn.......I couldn't see this anywhere on the ski piste map though.

Got to say the slopes around the Statzerhorn look absolutely brilliant!!
I drive to Lenzerheide. But you are correct you can get a Post Auto from Chur to the talstation for the Rothorn Gondela. The Rothorn Gondela station is on the Rothorn side of the pistemap about half way along the length of Heidsee. You can buy your ticket there and then take the local bus to any of the other entry points to the mountain. I recommend Parpan or Fadail. Alternatively if you want to get on the mountain quicker... I am pretty sure it is possible to get off the bus in Churwalden buy your ticket there and then take the lift up towards Statzerhorn directly from Churwalden. This should save you about 15 to 30 minutes depending on ques and waiting time for the sports bus at the Rothornbahn.

It is possible to ski/board from anywhere on one side of the valley to the other. but my personal recommendation (particularly if you snowboard) is the are between the Statzerhorn and Scalottas lifts. There are plenty of varied pistes here for all levels, the traverses are well enough constructed that you don't always have to be on one edge as a snowboarder and there is a reasonably possibility for nipping off between the pistes in search of some powder.
