Sure you can! For once everything is snowed in throughout the
Engadine, the valley is shrouded in even deeper peace and quiet.
You will become aware of this at the latest, when the creaking
sound of the snow at every one of your steps strikes you as
loud.
You will find yourself
transported to a wintery fairy land across some 94 miles (150 km)
of well kept hiking trails.
Take the time to discover the romantically snow covered
philosophers' trail up on the plateau of Muottas Muragl. Your
hike will be facilitated by markers for orientation which also
document the stages of occidental thinking from Socrates to
Sartre. Open space, depth of perspective and tranquility are the
true luxuries of our time. Here you may indulge yourself to the
fullest in the ageless aboundance of these values.
In winter the average temperature lies around -9° C.
During the night, temperatures can easily drop below -20° C.
However, because of the dry air (57% humidity in February on
average), it does not feel much colder than -6° C would
in areas where the humidity is higher.
Schellen Ursli Trail
The trail leads from St. Moritz-Dorf, passing the Heidi hut, to
Hotel Salastrains. It covers a distance of approximately one
mile (1.5 km) and the expected time for a leisurely hike is
45 minutes.
Philosophers' Trail
Along the romantic and quiet trail crossing the plateau of
Muottas Muragl you will discover the wisdom of occidental
thinkers from Socrates to Sartre as you read their quotes from
pannels gracing the unrivalled landscape.
Segantini
Trail
Start at the hotel Soldanella, then follow the forest trail to
the renovated Segantini Museum and beyond towards Suvretta.
Bordering the trail, six information boards are outlining the
life of the world famous painter Giovanni Segantini.
Around the Lake of St.
Moritz
A very special hike, as the frozen lake of St. Moritz stays
within your field of view. Just think of how strong the layer of
ice has to be in order to withstand horse races, polo parties,
grandstands and hundreds of spectators at one time.
