Walking and hiking in the exquisitely beautiful Engadin Valley, relaxing in the luxury of a spa,
enjoying food specialties of the region - these are a few of the pleasures of this 10 day,  small group adventure. The highlight is a full week at the Hotel Waldhaus in Sils Maria, just 15 minutes from St. Moritz. This five-star, old world hotel, run by the same family for four generations, has spacious public rooms, indoor swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, superb food and an outstanding wine cellar. The resident chamber music trio plays nearly every afternoon and most evenings for dancing after dinner. Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning, a warm Waldhaus welcome awaits you. Take a look at www.waldhaus-sils.ch. We return to Zurich for an afternoon tour of this cosmopolitan city and overnight before departure on the last morning.
     The terrain of the Engadin Valley offers many choices: easy strolls around three sparkling lakes, moderate walks in forests or on ridges, and more strenuous hikes to magnificent viewpoints, all in breathtaking beauty of snow-capped peaks around us. The symphonic music of cowbells accompanies us through fields of wildflowers.
Marcy will lead moderate four to six hour walks each day and advise options for those who want excursions. There is something for everyone in this area of Switzerland with its contrasts of cultures, languages and nature. The Italian border, with fruit and palm trees, is just an hour away!
Adventure Travel will be happy to help you plan an extension of your trip in Switzerland or beyond. Previous participants have continued to the lake district of Italy or explored other parts of Switzerland with a convenient rail pass. We can help you with suggestions and travel arrangements.
