Diversity as an Experience in the Engadin

During the Pride Hiking Week, there is a conscious decision to forgo stages and parades – instead, the focus is on connection and authenticity in the mountainous landscapes of the Engadin. The community experiences itself on equal footing, supported by an offering that presents queer visibility in a natural and calm manner.mannschaft.comI'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.

Hikes and Cuisine in the Spotlight

Daily guided hikes take you through the Engadin mountain world around Silvaplana, Bernina, Bergell, Corvatsch, Maloja, and the Swiss National Park in Zernez. A graduated system with four difficulty levels (from easy to challenging-expert) ensures that participants can choose their tours according to their fitness level.silvaplana.ch

Gastronomic experiences are central: a cozy evening with Engadin specialties, a restaurant lunch on the go, a special brunch on the Diavolezza with a view of the Bernina massif, as well as a wine tasting in the 7-day offer set enjoyment highlights.silvaplana.ch
