Cross-coun­try ski­ing in the Engadin

Pri­ce on request

Alle­gra and wel­co­me to the Upper Enga­di­ne. With over 320 days of suns­hi­ne a year, with its ice-cover­ed three-thousand-met­re peaks and bizar­re rock for­ma­ti­ons, with its fro­zen lakes and beau­tiful larch forests, the Enga­din is right­ly con­side­red one of the most beau­tiful high val­leys in Switz­er­land. On this tour you will expe­ri­ence the cross-coun­try ski­ing para­di­se of the Enga­din from Malo­ja to Zer­nez. The trails take you over fro­zen lakes along the famous Enga­din ski mara­thon, through secluded forests and into the high and side val­leys. Won­derful sun ter­races invi­te you to stop along the way and the­re is ple­nty of time to enjoy the magni­fi­cent pan­ora­ma of the Enga­din mountains. 

Itinerary / Stages

Sun­day: Indi­vi­du­al arrival
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in Malo­ja. Free par­king at the hotel, din­ner. Depen­ding on your arri­val time, you can start ski­ing your first meters on the trails around Maloja. 
Mon­day: From Malo­ja to the Fex Valley
Distanz: 22 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Today, clas­sic cross-coun­try ski­ers visit one of the lone­liest high val­leys in the Enga­din. The rou­te leads from Malo­ja via Iso­la up into the Fex Val­ley over slight­ly copied ter­rain. Iso­la is known as a small pen­in­su­la that can only be rea­ched by boat or on foot in sum­mer. In win­ter, Iso­la is inha­bi­ted by around six fami­lies, and a small restau­rant with a won­derful sun ter­race is famous far and wide for its polen­ta. The Fex Val­ley is car-free and only acces­si­ble to clas­sic cross-coun­try ski­ers. Ska­ters cross the lake to Sils and back via the Iso­la pen­in­su­la. The rou­tes can be shor­ten­ed or leng­the­ned depen­ding on your fit­ness level. Return to the hotel in the after­noon. Pos­si­bi­li­ty to visit the Gio­van­ni Segan­ti­ni stu­dio, din­ner at the hotel. 
Tues­day: From Malo­ja to Pontresina
Distanz: 21 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Today you set off on the ori­gi­nal rou­te of the Enga­din Ski Mara­thon. You cross the fro­zen Lake Malo­ja flat via Sils to Sur­lej. Wide trails and long gli­des make the time fly by. In Sur­lej you pass the land­mark of the Upper Enga­di­ne, the 17th cen­tu­ry cast­le on the lake, which can be seen from afar. Stop for lunch in Sur­lej, as you have alre­a­dy cover­ed half of the rou­te. After lunch, the rou­te con­ti­nues along the old ski jump through the Sta­zer­wald forest down to Pont­resi­na. The Hotel Sta­ti­on in Pont­resi­na is loca­ted direct­ly on the cross-coun­try ski trail and your lug­ga­ge is alre­a­dy wai­ting for you. Din­ner at the Bahn­höf­li restau­rant right next to the hotel. 
Wed­nes­day: From Pont­resi­na to the Roseg Glacier
Distanz: 16 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
The Roseg Val­ley is one of the most popu­lar excur­si­on desti­na­ti­ons in the Upper Enga­di­ne, not least becau­se of its spec­ta­cu­lar view of the Roseg Gla­cier at the end of the val­ley, which seems clo­se enough to touch. The clas­sic trail clim­bs gent­ly through spar­se forests. The gla­cier world and the moun­ta­ins up to almost 4000 meters high appear again and again in the direc­tion of tra­vel, the Ber­ni­na, the only four-thousand-met­re peak in the Swiss Eas­tern Alps, towers abo­ve the val­ley. The Roseg moun­tain restau­rant not only offers an impres­si­ve view, but also a fan­ta­stic des­sert buf­fet whe­re you can rep­le­nish lost calo­ries. After the lunch break, you return to the val­ley to Pont­resi­na on ano­ther, gent­ly slo­ping trail. The­re are oppor­tu­ni­ties for a tour of the vil­la­ge or a visit to the cheese dairy. The ska­ters gli­de over the race track into Val Roseg, but do not reach the end of the val­ley on this trail. Ins­tead, the ska­ters con­ti­nue into Val Mor­te­ratsch, an equal­ly impres­si­ve high val­ley up to the foot of Mor­te­ratsch. Return and din­ner at the hotel. 
Thurs­day: From Pont­resi­na to Zuoz
Distanz: 19 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Today we con­ti­nue towards the Lower Enga­di­ne along the Inn, which has its source in Malo­ja. From Pont­resi­na, the trail runs flat past Same­dan and Bever. Here the val­ley widens and you are usual­ly dri­ven along by a light tail­wind, the famous Malo­ja bree­ze. In La Punt, a small Enga­di­ne vil­la­ge, you take off your skis for a few meters. You walk past the typi­cal Enga­di­ne hou­ses with their thick walls until you can strap your skis back on after 500 meters. After a lunch break in La Punt, the rou­te con­ti­nues slight­ly uphill over the golf cour­se to Zuoz. Check in at the hotel, din­ner. (Din­ner in the hotel restau­rant or in the Zuoz cross-coun­try ski cen­ter, depen­ding on availability). 
Fri­day: From Zuoz to Zer­nez and back by train to Zuoz
Distanz: 25 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Today we con­ti­nue towards the Lower Enga­din and thus onto the last stage of this Enga­din crossing. From Zuoz, the trail leads along the right side of the val­ley through den­se pine forests. While the Inn flows far below on the left-hand side, the trail leads uphill. Three ascents and des­cents have to be mas­te­red befo­re the wide val­ley around Zer­nez opens up. A rapid des­cent takes you down to Zer­nez. Restau­rants invi­te you to lin­ger. The Rhae­ti­an Rail­way takes you back to Zuoz whe­re you spend the last evening of the Enga­din crossing with a tasty din­ner of Enga­din spe­cial­ties. (Din­ner in the hotel restau­rant or in the Zuoz cross-coun­try ski cen­ter, depen­ding on availability). 
Indi­vi­du­al departure

Additional information

Tour cha­rac­ter
The rou­te from Malo­ja to Zer­nez is fea­si­ble for both less expe­ri­en­ced and spor­ty cross-coun­try ski­ers. The dai­ly stages can be exten­ded as desi­red or shor­ten­ed by public bus. An avera­ge level of fit­ness for sport­ing acti­vi­ty at an alti­tu­de of 1800 meters is requi­red. The Enga­din crossing is ide­al for clas­sic style cross-coun­try ski­ers, as the two high val­leys of Val Fex and Val Roseg are only groo­med for clas­sic style. Ska­ters can switch to other rou­tes at the­se points. The rou­tes can also be com­bi­ned in clas­sic and ska­ting style.

Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.

No mat­ter how well plan­ned a trip is, in rare cases unex­pec­ted things hap­pen. At such times, it’s nice to have someone you can rely on on site. For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emergency.
