Lakes and peaks: the Engadine in gentle comfort

A day spent in a true haven of peace . The trail leads you to the stunning green lake of Cavloc , nestled in a natural setting. The hike continues to the foot of the Val Forno glacier (2,300 m), offering breathtaking panoramic views. Return to Maloja , then a leisurely walk along the lake to Sils , passing through the village of Isola , known for its typical Engadine houses.

The trail begins along the shores of Lake Maloja , then ascends behind Isola to reach the Val Fédoz , a wild and unspoiled landscape. The traverse leads to the Val Fex , dotted with picturesque hamlets, including Crasta with its small chapel. The path continues to Plaun Vadret , at the foot of the Chapütschin, Piz Glüschaint, and Piz Flora glaciers, which tower over the Italian border at over 3,300 meters. The descent returns to Sils , where you can visit Nietzsche's house and discover the source of the Inn River .

A day in the heart of the Val Roseg and its glacier, starting on a trail through pine forests overlooking the lakes of Sils and Silvaplana . The ascent leads to the Fuorcla Surlej pass (2,755 m), offering exceptional panoramic views of the Morteratsch, Bernina (4,049 m), Pointe Scerscen (3,971 m), and Pic Roseg (3,920 m) glaciers, as well as the Sella and Glüschaint peaks . The landscape unfolds into a vast glacial cirque of breathtaking beauty.

In case of bad weather, a gentler alternative runs along the lakes of Silvaplana, Champfer and Lake Staz , with the possibility of reaching the Val Roseg hotel by horse-drawn carriage (at an extra cost, not included).

From the train station, a small train runs to Morteratsch (5 km), with the option of walking the rest of the way.

The Val Morteratsch reveals an exceptional panorama of Piz Palü, Piz Cambrena, and the Bernina (4,020 m) , forming one of the most beautiful glacial cirques in the Alps. To extend the adventure, a climb to the Boval refuge (2,459 m) offers breathtaking views of the Bernina glacier .

Transfer to Schanf , the last village in the Upper Engadine, facing the Trupchun Valley and the Swiss National Park , a haven for remarkable wildlife: marmots, chamois, ibex, and deer are often seen here. A final walk allows you to discover Zuoz , considered one of the most beautiful villages in the Engadine, with its centuries-old houses featuring painted facades and asymmetrical windows.
