Activity list
- Hiking
The footpath network of the Engadin is said to extend for 580 kilometers. No one knows the precise figure, but one thing is for sure: every kilometer is a unique experience of nature. Immerse yourself in the inspiring beauty of our landscapes while keeping a sharp eye for details. The paths are scattered with treasures, and with a little luck you can spot marmots, ibex or even an eagle.
- Biking
Mountain biking in the Engadin is in a class of its own. Bike transport up to the 3,057 meter Piz Nair; twisting trails to Italy with rides back by train; thrilling tours through forests and valleys, to mountain lakes and glaciers... Spoilt for choice? Just go with the flow – especially on Corviglia. And for everyone, that would like some “support” while biking: on an e-bike, mountain biking is child’s play! Thanks to the powerful motor, you can go much further on any ride and explore landscapes you would not otherwise reach.
- Trailrunning
When, in spring, the melting snow reveals the endless network of trails that lead across our region, runners are back in their element. Athletes use the Engadin for altitude training, leisure joggers enjoy the feel-good factor in the magnificent natural landscapes, and freedom-loving trail runners flee the asphalt in pursuit of natural highs. Welcome to the Engadin, heaven for runners!
