Allegra hikers,

Let's celebrate the Swiss National Day with the national sport: hiking in one of the most beautiful region, in the enchanting Engadin. High peaks, challenging routes, blue lakes, high life over 3000m. 

As Engadin is quite far from Zürich, I organise this a long hiking weekend, with an overnight in the Pontresina Youth Hostel.  Everyone shall book and pay their accomodation individually. There is an option for booking a dinner too, I recommend that. Dinner time is 18-19:30.

Pro tip: 15% discount with Transa card

As the hostel is on the way (right next to the train station), we can leave some stuff there, so we don't have to carry during the hike.

If you spend more than 1 night in Engadin, you get a free ticket to the regional cable cars and public transport.

Hotel & Public Transport included Summer

Hotel & Mountain Railways included

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

Piz Albris (T4): https://www.hikr.org/dir/Piz_Albris_55/ped/

Weather forecast: hopefully good. In case of not suitable weather, I may change the route.

Note: This hike is not suitable for beginners and requires T4 experience.

• The hike will last ca. 7 hours with a lot of viewpoints.
• Short lunch break at the Piz Languard.
• The pace will be medium/fast (>= 600 hm/h) with enough time to admire the landscape. In case you're not able to keep up with the pace, we might split up.
• If you want to skip the Piz Albris, you can chill at one of the lakes and meet us later. 

Equipment:

• Proper hiking boots, poles, snacks, enough water, proper clothes acc. to the weather, sunscreen, good mood and fitness.

Additional notes

• The organizer is no professional guide. Participants are responsible for themselves, must do their own research about the route, and must be able to navigate by themselves (in case the groups split for some reason, for example).
• Out of respect for the others, please be on time. If you happen to be late, contact the organizer.
• If you have a No Show in your profile (= you did not show up to a hike you signed up to in the past), I may exclude you from the event.
• Unjoining allowed until 12 hours before the start of the event. If you are unable to be join for whatever reason, contact the organizer.
