This 5-day snowshoeing tour takes you through the snow covered landscapes of the Engadine Valley, Morteratsch, Bernina and Lago Bianco in Switzerland, all well known places, right in the heart of the Swiss Alps, but away from the hustle and bustle of other winter destinations.
During these days, we will leave our tracks on the vast winter landscapes, just hearing the silence. In the evening we will enjoy fine food at the recently renovated, more than 500-year-old Berninahäuser Hotel.
Every day, we will go on a snowshoeing tour in the high-altitude snowy area in Bernina and Upper Engadin, starting from the hotel, or by train or bus from the nearby stops. We will hike on the snow in quiet side valleys, over frozen lakes, sometimes on the south side of the Bernina. The hikes will take us from 3 to 5 hours a day.
The train ride to the highest station of the Rhaetian Railway is already an experience in itself. From there we will start one of our snowshoe tours, with a spectacular view of the famous Bernina massif and Lake Bianco. Not surprisingly, the Bernina Line was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Back from our snowshoe tours, we can review the day with a fine multi-course dinner, at the over 500-year-old hotel, which was completely and lovingly renovated a few years ago. If you want even more exercise, the hotel has a gym and billiards available. Would you like to end the day a bit quieter? Then sauna and reading room may be an alternative.
So if you want to enjoy this unique snowshoeing tour, just check the date below and book your place. Come experience a wonderful winter experience in the magical winter landscapes of this region in Switzerland.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
