View of the mountain village of Scuol by a mountain stream, surrounded by forests and mountains

Unspoiled nature, and in such an impressive and diverse way you can hardly get enough of the mountain panoramas on this 7-day tour from Switzerland to Austria. Soak up the peace and quiet of this unique area, it will be good for you!

Do not leave the starting point of St. Moritz before you have done some ‘people watching’, because this is where the upper class meets for winter sports etc. On the way you will find there is an enormous number of picturesque villages that shape the Engadine and its culture. Zernez is the gateway to the Swiss National Park, where, with a bit of luck, you can spot deer, chamois and marmots.

On the 4th day of the tour your reach the Austrian border and continue the tour in Tyrol. Past Stuben and Landeck, Imst awaits with numerous fountains, churches and chapels. After all this you can enjoy Innsbruck’s hospitality, where Kasspressknödel (cheese dumplings), Tyrolean Gröstel and other delights are available for refreshment.

  • The glamourous St. Moritz: Aristocrats, entrepreneurs and stars – they all come to St. Moritz to work or strap on skis for winter sports fun. Walk in the footsteps of ‘high society’ and explore the elegant boutiques and chic restaurants.
  • Magnificent mountain panoramas in the Swiss Engadine: It is one of the highest inhabited valleys in all of Europe. So it’s no wonder that you can enjoy very special views in the high mountain landscape.
  • The artist village of Guarda offers many artistically painted houses and is a real feast for the eyes. By the way, the type of decoration in this village is calls sgraffiti, which is a special scratching technique. One of the most famous children’s books in Switzerland has its origin here: A Bell for Ursli.
  • The Golden Roof in Innsbruck: It is the symbol of the Tyrolean capital and is worth a visit. Also because of the adjoining lively old town centre, which invites you to take a stroll. Incidentally, the Golden Roof itself consists of 2,657 fire-gilded copper shingles.

On the slightly hilly tour you must accept an ascent or two, but there are also some descents to take it easier. The network of paths is characterised by easily navigable gravel roads and forest paths. The Inn starts at its source quite contemplative, meanders wildly through Switzerland and gradually reaches full width.
