At the Tourist Office Lenzerheide, you immediately take the hiking trail uphill towards Crapera. From Crapera a steep path leads to the waterfall. The first highlight and opportunity for a rest. From the waterfall you go to Alp Sanaspans, where you can enjoy the view over Lenzerheide over a Salsiz. After Alp Sanaspans, the trail leads through the beautiful side valley of Sanaspans. Here, untouched nature and natural silence still reign. The final ascent to the Rothorn summit takes its toll once again. But the effort is more than rewarded with a drink at the panorama restaurant with a view of over 1,000 peaks.We recommend taking the train back down to the valley. Along the Heidsee lake and over the Lido, it's back to Lenzerheide to the starting point.
