Winter experiences in nature
Snowshoeing and winter hiking
Crunch, crunch, crunch—relaxing winter hiking
When the bottom of your shoes squeak with every step you take, the air you exhale produces steam, and the low temperatures awaken all your senses, then it must be winter. And the winter in Engadin is long, and it offers the perfect conditions for everyone who loves discovering the winter scenery by foot. There’s no finer way to slow down.
We would especially like to recommend the Philosophenweg (Philosophers’ Trail) on Muottas Muragl, Pontresina to the Morteratsch Glacier, and the idyllic Val Roseg path.
Feel free to ask our reception for further tips or use the interactive winter hiking map of the tourist destinations.
Bobsledding
Dashing winter fun
Did you know that the world’s oldest bobsled track is located in Switzerland? The Olympia Bob Run St. Moritz-Celerina is not only a historical landmark, but also a venue that’s used until today for international bobsled racing. With speeds of up to 130 km/h (approx. 81 mph) and a centrifugal force of 4.5 G, this ride guarantees the ultimate experience. The legendary “horseshoe” curve puts your skill and courage to the test, and a certificate is provided to every rider who makes it to the end of the track. Guest rides are carried out almost daily in the winter. Reserve your ticket online or directly with the Olympia Bob Run St. Moritz-Celerina’s office and dive in and have fun winter racing.
Sledding in Engadin
Winter time is sledding time
Sledding in the Engadin promises a varied winter experience with picturesque slopes in both the Upper and Lower Engadin. The downward descent from Muottas Muragl, which provides sledding fans a breathtaking view of snow-capped peaks, is highly recommended.
The Prui Ftan sledding slope that leads through the snowy landscape of Engadin is a further highlight. The track stands out thanks to its diversity. From gentle curves to thrilling descents, it offers something to suit every preference.
Traditional carriage rides
in the winter paradise
If you’d like to start your day off slower, take a romantic horse-drawn sleigh or carriage ride and discover the idyllic side valleys or the frozen lake scenery while doing so. When the horses glide through the snow, a special atmosphere is created, accompanied by the gentle sound of snow crunching. The carriage makes its way through picturesque villages and wintry woods while the carriage passengers breathe in the clear winter air and savor the unique atmosphere. Whether it’s for a couple or a group, a carriage ride promises unforgettable moments and a nostalgic journey through the splendor of winter.
