Sun-soaked winter hiking trails that lift your spirits
Glistening snow, steel-blue sky, and plenty of sun. The Engadin region is known for its above-average number of sunny days. In the enchanting Upper Engadine mountain landscape, the sun shines on an average of 322 days a year. The predominantly easy and moderate winter hiking tours are also well suited for beginners and less experienced hiking enthusiasts. Particularly recommended, also for families, are the following winter hikes:
Diavolezza-Sass Queder - hike with spectacular views
This relatively short winter hike will take your breath away. Not because it is difficult to manage, but because the breathtaking panoramic view during the winter hike on this route will simply leave you speechless. After a short ascent, the view stretches far over mighty mountain peaks, such as Piz Palü, Piz Bernina, or the impressive Ortler on the Italian side of the Alps. However, the route requires good footwear, as it is one of the winter hiking trails that is only maintained with snow shovels.
