Guarda Val Hotel, Lenzerheide / Lai

The Guarda Val is a unique "Maiensässhotel" occupying 11 buildings that are up to 300 years old. The Swiss term "Maiensäss" refers to a mountain pasture gained by clear-cutting forestland. These pastures were traditionally occupied during the summer months only and studded with cabins and barns for the purpose. In the hamlet of Sporz above Lenzerheide at an elevation of 1,600 m above sea level, a romantic alpine ambience combines with a modern life style. While the interior of the historic cabins has been completely redeveloped, the historic exteriors have been preserved. A posh hideaway with amenities the way we like them today: authenticity instead of artifice, environmentally friendly rather than exploitative tourism, outdoor experience rather than glitzy jet-set jamborees.
Price range €€
Lounging on the bar terrace at night makes you feel as if you could touch the stars and hilltops.
Few of the rooms command a pretty view down into the Albula Valley, as most overlook the village square. So it is important to know exactly which the best rooms are.
