Winter Walking
When the Engadin lies deep in snow, an even more intense sense of peace settles over the valley. Something you’ll notice at the latest when each step seems to crunch resoundingly in the snow. Walkers think they’ve been transported to a fairyland on some 150 km of winter-walking trails.
Well worth knowing: The average winter temperature in the Engadin is around -9°C. Night temperatures can fall slightly below -20° but owing to the dry climate – average 57% humidity in February – it feels no more than around -6° found in regions with higher humidity levels.
Important information for our walkers
- Please observe the notices of the Avalanche Service.
- Trails over frozen lakes: these trails may first be used when officially marked red and groomed. Approximately mid-January to beginning of April, depending on weather. Lake trails must be temporarily closed in heavy snowfall or with the onset of warm periods.
- Please do not leave litter.
- Dogs must be kept on leads.
- Please do not leave the marked trails. The wildlife must not be disturbed.
