The high valley of the Upper Engadine with its varied, 580-kilometre hiking trail-Netz is a true paradise. The contrasts that characterize this region cast a spell over everyone. The archaic nature can be experienced up close, be it while hiking on one of the breathtaking panoramic trails, during an exciting themed hike, while walking along the glittering lakes or on a trekking tour lasting several days.

There are also hiking trails that are suitable for pushchairs, which are particularly suitable for families, as well as ten wheelchair-accessible hiking trails. For those who prefer a longer mountain tour, the areas of Corviglia/Piz Nair, Corvatsch/Furtschellas, Diavolezza and Muottas Muragl/Alp Languard, which are accessible by mountain railways, offer fascinating high-altitude hikes with spectacular views.

The Mortertasch-Crew knows and loves the beautiful valley – ask us!

Efficient altitude training in the valley? where else but in the 1700 meter high Engadin valley is that possible? In addition, there are 322 days of sunshine per year, which ensure ideal training conditions. It is not for nothing that top athletes come to us regularly to train professionally for competitions. The Swiss Olympians trained here for the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City 40 years ago.

You, too, benefit from the dry and alpine climate of the Engadine. Regardless of whether you opt for a classic circuit around Lake St. Moritz or for trail running off the beaten track: the Engadin is a paradise for joggers and offers the right setting for all preferences. Are you getting fit? we are ready!

For the best Jogging- and Trailrunning- routes ask “trail crazy” Monika.

As soon as the last snow has melted in the Upper Engadine, the touring season of the warm season begins. With its unique landscape and numerous peaks over 3000 meters, the Engadin valley offers the ideal conditions for a successful mountain tour. The range of tours is divided in such a way that for every alpinist ? no matter if beginner or professional ? the right one is there.

The individual paths and tours are marked in such a way that you can optimally assess the level of difficulty. From leisurely hiking in sneakers to challenging mountain hiking with areas secured with ropes to difficult alpine hiking with tricky craggy terrain, everything is there to make your experience uniquely beautiful and safe.

Whether kiting, surfing, sailing: the legendary Maloja wind makes many water sports possible. The idyllic Lake Silvaplana at 1800 meters with wind forces of three to six Beaufort provides the ideal conditions. The lake plateau has long been a cult in the Wind- and kitesurfing scene. The reason for this is not least the kitesurf-Pionier Stefan Popprath, who set up his base here a long time ago.

On the Silvaplaner- and Lake St. Moritz, the Swiss-, Europe- and sometimes also the world championships in kitesurfing are held, which are considered the highlights of the season. Try out the trend sport too. Stand up paddling is recommended until midday when it is still quite calm on the lakes, in order to fully enjoy the tranquility of nature.
