Day 2

Stage 1: Gliding over the Engadine lake plateau

Do you fancy an extensively sporty tour, or would you prefer a gentle one? You have the choice: for the longer option (3h30) take bus no. 2 or 6, which leaves directly in front of the hotel, to Sils Maria, Seglias. Here you take trail 1, the world-famous Engadin Marathon cross-country skiing trail. This takes you over snow and ice. You glide over the Silvaplaner and Champfersee lakes to St. Moritz, past the St.Moritzersee lake to the fairytale Stazersee lake. Here you can linger over a cup of tea in the lakeside restaurant before setting off on the final stretch to Pontresina. For the shorter version (1h40), we recommend starting at the bus stop St. Moritz Bad, Sonne (bus no. 6. from Celerina). You won't be gliding over the Engadine lakes here, but the dreamlike Stazerwald will make your winter heart beat just as fast.

Overnight in Pontresina

  • incl. rich breakfast from the buffet
  • Homemade cakes from the in-house patisserie in the afternoon
  • 5-course dinner
  • Free use of the wellness area
  • Luggage transport from Pontresina to Zuoz (1 piece of luggage per person)

Stage 2: from Pontresina to Zuoz

Today's route takes you gently along the plain for a good 16 km - the paradisiacal silver tracks of the marathon route always lead you along the young Inn River to the Zuoz train station. Please inform your hosts at the Hotel Castell****S in Zuoz of your arrival at Zuoz railway station in good time by calling 081-851 52 53, so that you can be picked up by the hotel bus.

  • free use of the hotel infrastructure
  • Luggage transport from Zuoz to Celerina (1 piece of luggage per person)

Day 4

Stage 3: Cross-country skiing in Val Bever

The red train will take you comfortably to Samedan, where you change to the train in the direction of Chur, which will take you to Spinas (attention: stop on request). In the immediate vicinity of the station you will reach the cross-country ski trail (classic and skating). This meanders along the route of the Rhaetian Railway from Spinas, slightly descending to Bever in the Val Bever in Graubünden. Along the way you can enjoy the fascinating fairytale scenery of the surrounding peaks of the Bernina Group and the beautiful Val Bever. In the lower village of Bever you will find a connection to the marathon trail. Approx. 500 m after the railway subway, a classic cross-country trail branches off to the right and leads via the airfield to Celerina. This route takes a total of approx. 2 hours.

Overnight in Celerina

  • incl. rich breakfast buffet
