Walking in the Engadin Valley

The first and oldest national park in Switzerland awaits you in the Engadin. Hike through the ruggedly romantic Rosegtal valley, with postcard-worthy views of the Upper Engadin lakes and the Piz Bernina mountain. Be transported into another world as you explore the idyllic Romansch-speaking valley and its timeless alpine villages, which are characterized by sturdy stone-built houses and intricately painted facades.

Dotted with authentically Swiss villages, stay in traditional and charming hotels and be surrounded by idyllic mountain scenery. Choose to cross the Swiss Alps following the Via Valtellina and Via Albula through the Engadin Valley from Klosters to Tirano, finishing your hike in Italy with a cold glass of local white wine.
