Description

Hoi hikers,


End of October is the best time to visit Engadine for colourful autumn foliage hikes. Golden larches, blue lakes and high peaks nearby make sure, you will return home with nice memories.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Engadine is unfortunately quite far from Zürich, I organise this time a hiking weekend, with an overnight in the Scuol Youth Hostel.  Everyone shall book and pay their accomodation individually.


Of course it's possible to join for only 1 day too. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The second day we go to the valley with the most wildlife in the Swiss National Park. And there will be golden larches, of course:)
