The hamlet of Wergenstein is situated in 412 sq km of the outstandingly beautiful ‘Beverin Nature Park’ which is also home to the majestic ibex.
Wergenstein offers excellent access to a vast area of superb and exciting ski touring and hiking trails. It is within a 40 minute drive to the world famous resorts of Lenzerheide (now connected to Arosa) and Flims – both in excess of 220kms of ski runs. A 20-30 minute drive will get you to several small but simply delightful family orientated resorts; Tschappina, Sarn, Savognin and Splugen. There are a number of popular marked toboggan runs throughout the Shamserberg and one run directly from the village. Wergenstein has a Bus Stop and is accessible by public transport in the Summer and Winter, and is an excellent starting point for mountain bikers, ski tourers, and hikers.
In the summer months there is excellent alpine fishing in many surrounding rivers, dams and high altitude lakes – your host will be happy to share his passion and local knowledge to get you started. Mountain biking, boulder climbing (The Magic Wood – most famous bouldering field in Europe - Ausserferrera) can all be worked in to your itinerary.
There are plenty of wonderful swimming destinations from wild lakes to swimming pools. Your choice will include remote icy-cold high altitude lakes to fully serviced, child friendly, crystal clear emerald blue lakes in the vallies (e.g. Caumasee, Flims). White water rafting adventures are also available in the Upper Rhine with tours taking you through the highly dramatic Rhine Gorge.
Within a 40 minute drive you can be teeing off from two heavenly situated Golf Courses; Alvaneu Bad Golf Course and Lenzerheide Golf Course.
Chalet Nidus Montis is 2.7 km from the famous Via Spluga hiking route (Thusis to Chiavenna, Italy).
Stop at the Andeer Aqua Spa before returning from a day’s downhill skiing, ski touring, golfing or mountain biking, and treat yourself to a hot spring soak, sauna and massage.
The Capricorns Hotel (30 metres from the Chalet) offers a first rate restaurant and a fun lively bar.
