Snowshoeing in St. Moritz – tips & the right rental equipment

Through the forests and mountains

More and more guests are discovering the excitement of the original form of hiking in the snow: Snowshoes carry you through our forests and mountains. Quietly and without urgency, you will discover the Engadin in your own personal way. Ask our teams about equipment and valuable tips for your tours through the fresh snows of the Engadin.

Please only hike on clearly marked routes. This will reduce the risk of losing your way or inadvertently entering an avalanche zone. Furthermore, parts of the forests are sensitive habitats for wild animals that shouldn’t be disturbed in winter. Our local teams will be happy to share tips about hikes that are ideal for snowshoeing.

Cross country through the deep snow

The original form of winter hiking

The snowshoes you can rent from Skiservice Corvatsch give you a safe way to hike across open countryside. The shoes provide a large surface area, meaning you won’t sink into the deep snow. Because you are moving across the surface of the snow, you will also be able to climb mountainsides quickly. The crampon systems attached to the bottom make going uphill even easier, the teeth providing extra grip, also in icy terrain.

The snowshoes are equipped with a simple binding, with fasteners that allow for individual adjustment. You can use snowshoes with regular winter shoes, which should be waterproof and warm to avoid wet or cold feet during your hike.

Becoming one with nature

Snowshoeing in winter is growing in popularity. In the Engadin, too, there are more and more routes for leisurely walks or extended hikes involving major elevation gains.

The Corvatsch Lake Trail attracts many visitors every year. One reason is the magical panorama you can enjoy during the hike. Yet another excursion tip is the Plauns snowshoe trail from Pontresina to Morteratsch. With a distance of 4 kilometers, this is one of the most challenging trails in our region.

The following hikes are suitable for families:
