Description
A wide range of hikes in eastern Switzerland.
The Engadine stretches from high alpine terrain around Bernina and the lakes in the upper valley to quieter areas and valleys further east. The book also covers Val Bregaglia and the Swiss National Park, offering a broad basis for choosing a base and combining several landscapes, rather than limiting your stay to a few well-known outings near St Moritz and the most visited spots.
A hundred day hikes and two longer itineraries.
The hikes range from gentle walks to more demanding routes at higher altitude for experienced hikers. Two multi-day options, a Bregaglia circuit and a route through the national park area, allow for more extended experiences. This range makes the book useful for a long stay or repeat visits, with scope to choose new hikes depending on the season and previous experience in the region.
Maps and practical information for your hiking holiday.
Descriptions and maps support planning and navigation, alongside information on huts and public transport. This is useful when a hike has different start and end points, or when you want to reach a higher starting point without a car. The book also helps you see which hikes can be combined from the same base, making it easier to organize your stay before departure.
Adapt your hikes to altitude and current conditions.
Lower trails and high mountain routes call for different levels of experience, and snow can affect conditions through the season. The national park also has its own local regulations that should be checked before visiting. The guide suits hikers who want plenty of options and make active use of the gradings, with up-to-date local information as a supplement when planning specific hikes, huts, and connections during their stay in the area.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew out of a community of climbers and mountain people who wanted to share detailed knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still shapes the publisher’s books on hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
