This is a scenic roundtour between the resorts of Lenzerheide, Arosa and Tschiertschen. The tour has a couple of nice deep snow descents, but also a few flat sections that make it a little more difficult (but not impossible) for snowboarders.

Haldigrat was a secret freeride spot for a number of years. Recently it's become relatively well known, but on the right day it can still be a great day out.

The Funi Line lives up to its name. Only here you will find this day trip, which connects all secured but unprepared and uncontrolled slopes. No ascent, just pulling new lines, just enjoying the fresh powder downhill - that's what awaits you on the line. Available from the end of December.
