Lantsch: St. Cassian: Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide AG
Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide occupies a forest-edged plateau above Lantsch in the Swiss Alps. This purpose-built centre combines a biathlon stadium and shooting range with a network for cross-country skiing, making it a focal point for Nordic sport in the Lenzerheide area. Its course infrastructure has staged top-level international competition, most notably the 2025 Biathlon World Championships, the first edition of the event held in Switzerland. Lantsch stands on a broad terrace between the Albula valley and the Lenzerheide resort area. The arena’s compact layout brings the start and finish, range, loops and spectator facilities together, while surrounding conifer forest gives the site a distinctly alpine setting. Outside major events, it serves training and recreational Nordic skiing.

Lantsch lies above the Albula Valley on a broad, sun-facing terrace in the Albula Alps, where open meadows rise towards the Lenzerheide high valley. Also known by the German name Lenz, this compact settlement is part of the Albula Region and retains a strong Romansh connection: Lantsch is its traditional Romansh name. The Church of St Cassian forms a historic focal point, while the nearby Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide links the area with Nordic skiing and international biathlon. Roads connect Lantsch with Tiefencastel, Lenzerheide and the wider Albula Valley, placing it firmly in Graubünden’s upland heartland.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
