Lenzerhorn, Rothorn, Stätzerhorn, Piz Danis and Piz Scalottas are THE BIG FIVE of the Lenzerheide holiday region. These are to be covered in one day.
The original route is in the area of a trail closure near the Sanaspans waterfall. However, the closure can be easily bypassed, and a detour is signposted on site.
A day trail running route over Lenzerhorn, Rothorn, Stätzerhorn, Piz Danis and Piz Scalottas. This very demanding route promises breathtaking panoramas and varied trail sections. Surefootedness and experience in trail running are two clear prerequisites for THE BIG FIVE.
Starting in the early morning hours is doubly worthwhile. This way, enjoy the sunrise along the way and reach the pace of the day without time pressure. The way back to the valley from Piz Scalottas is done by chairlift. This saves you considerable elevation and allows you to enjoy the view into the valley calmly at the end.
Author’s recommendation
At the end, a visit to the mountain restaurant Piz Scalottas is worthwhile. There you will find freshly prepared, seasonal and regional delicacies.
