Description
The Swiss National Park and the Engadine are natural jewels where Nature expresses itself in all its splendour. Rivers still flow freely, landscapes are wild, and wildlife is omnipresent. Set off in quest of the Grisons’ “Big Five +1”: bearded vulture, marmot, roe deer, ibex, red deer, and golden eagle. I have deliberately added the latter to the list, as it deserves its place there. I will take you on a 4-day semi-itinerant hike in the Swiss National Park: 2 nights in a superb hotel in Zernez with a SPA, followed by 1 night in a mountain hut in the heart of the park for total immersion. Limited places – book your escape now! This trip is suited to experienced mountain hikers comfortable with T2 trails (white-red-white markings) and without acrophobia. One of the hikes is rated T3 and includes a narrow passage along a steep slope. Price is for double room occupancy with half-board. Single room available on demand (and subject to availability) with supplement. Please indicate your dinner preference (omnivore or vegetarian) and any food allergies when registering. Depending on group composition, a solo registrant may be accommodated in a single room (supplement payable by them). A detailed equipment list will be sent after registration. Despite all care taken to ensure everyone’s safety, mountain activities involve a residual risk which the participant accepts. Further details (accomodation, etc.) will be provided after booking.
