The real joy of snowshoeing is being able to strike out across virgin snow, exploring areas inaccessible to cross-country skiers and walkers. What’s more, there is no special technique to master – it’s simply a case of walking with your feet slightly wider apart than normal – and little is needed in terms of equipment, as the snowshoes (which you can hire locally and which are rather like plastic tennis racquets) attach to normal waterproof walking boots.
On a snowshoeing week at the atmospheric Hotel Meisser in Guarda, you will discover hidden corners of the picturesque Engadine Valley, with three excursions with your hosts and other guests included. One of Switzerland’s best-kept secrets, the Engadine is a place where winter is truly magical and is characterised by frozen lakes, quintessentially Alpine scenery and picture-book villages whose streets transport you back in time as you walk amid the distinctive stone houses.
