To the dates and registration

Lenzerheide

Do you love ski touring, freeriding and want to be safe off-piste? Then the Bergschaft Festival in Lenzerheide is the right place for you. Four days full of experiences, exercise and encounters await you; with a varied and diverse programme for beginners and advanced skiers.

Our base camp is the Kurhaus Lenzerheide, which offers the perfect location for an unforgettable time and a great shared experience. Together with our guides you will enjoy the day outside in the snow, doing the activity of your choice. In the evening, you can improve your skills in various workshops and round off the day together with the Bergschaft community at the bar.

The film evening on Friday is sure to be a highlight. We will enjoy short films about freeriding and ski touring in a relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, we can exchange ideas, get to know new people and look forward to the next few days in the snow together.

The speciality:

You can register for individual days or the entire festival period. On site, you decide spontaneously the evening before which activities you would like to take part in. A day of technology? Or would you prefer powder? Anything is possible. All courses take place with a minimum of three participants. You can test equipment on site or bring your own. The festival takes place in the cosy Kurhaus Lenzerheide. Here you can stay overnight, meet other participants and enjoy the joint programme.

Register now and be there when the Bergschaft meets in winter.

Good to know:

If you book a day pass, you can also select and book your overnight stay at the Kurhaus Lenzerheide and other offers in the next step of the booking system after clicking on "Register". It's easy to put together your own personalised festival package. Due to the high season, rooms at the Kurhaus can only be booked for 2 nights or more. Of course, you can also stay somewhere else and take part in our festival.
