The most beautiful hikes

The climax.

Royal Tour to the Lais da Macun

This challenging tour to the high plateau of the picturesque Macun Lake District is an alpine hike into the youngest part of the Swiss National Park.

What a panorama.

Crap Putèr

From the dreamy Engadine village of Tarasp, the hike leads through the forest, above the tree line to Crap Putèr. The summit rewards with one of the most beautiful views of the Lower Engadine.

The classic.

Easy hike to the Lai Nair

Leisurely enjoyable hike with castle panorama to the small, picturesquely situated mountain lake Lai Nair, above Tarasp.

Over suspension bridges.

Sent – Val Sinestra – Zuort – Vnà

This varied tour takes you over suspension bridges, past the Val Sinestra spa hotel to the hamlet of Vnà. In between, we recommend a stop at the Hof Zuort inn for some refreshments.

Experience the original nature in the National Park.

The Val Mingèr

This National Park hike starts in Val S-charl and is a real experience, especially in autumn. Already on the way to the Mingèr rest area, animals can be discovered in the dumps.

For families.

Schellen Ursli trail in Guarda

The book «Schellen-Ursli» has made the village of Guarda famous. Highlights from the book can be found along the way, such as the joyful «Chalandamarz» bell procession.

A real summit experience that is not too difficult.

Piz Clünas

The summit tour takes you high up to Piz Clünas (2793 m above sea level) on the southern edge of the Silvretta. Our tip: Make a stop at Alp Laret and enjoy a delicious Kaiserschmarrn.

Smuggler's Trail.

Val d‘Uina

600 metres of path, in the middle of the rock – the Val d'Uina smuggler's path is truly spectacular. As a highlight, we recommend an overnight stay in the Sesvenna Hut or the SAC Hut Lischana.

For connoisseurs and families.

Flurina Trail on Motta Naluns

The Flurina Trail combines experience and movement. At ten stations, the story of Flurina and the wild bird can be actively experienced and felt.

Explore side valleys.

Tour to the SAC hut Chamonna Tuoi

From the Schellen-Ursli village to the foot of Piz Buin. This hike takes you from Guarda into the middle of the mountains past the Lai Blau to the Chamonna Tuoi SAC.

Game viewing and magnificent mountain panorama.

Mot Tavrü

The hike takes you from S-charl through the Val Tavrü, up to the Mot Tavrü. From here you can enjoy views of the Val Foraz and, with a little luck, of the red deer that live there.

Plan your hike.
