Description

Light, enjoyable and a bit exclusive. That's how you could describe the snowshoe tour very briefly.

The start is in Waltensburg Demvitg. This is at the lower end of the elongated mountain village. At the beginning, still wearing snowshoes, you walk through a residential area and later along forest and forest roads in the direction of the castle complex. The highlight is of course the Jörgenburg (Munt Sogn Gieri). Who has ever trudged through a snow-covered castle garden? You don't do that every day. In addition, the views of the surrounding mountains are really beautiful.

The way back is through the meadow of Casti and Cantuns with a short climb back to the starting point.

Geheimtipp

Snowshoeing in the castle courtyard

A visit to the church in Waltnsburg. The Reformed Church is a gem among the churches. Particularly valuable from an art-historical point of view are the wall paintings by an unknown master around 1330.

Sicherheitshinweis

This snowshoe tour does not have any dangerous places with avalanche danger. However, be sure to pay attention to the weather forecast and only start in good conditions.

Fancy longer tours? For carefree enjoyment, we recommend our mountain guides and snowshoe guides in Surselva.

For us humans, winter is a wonderful time! Snow-covered landscapes, clear, pure air and in the evening after the snowshoe tour, a warm, cozy home awaits. For our game, such as roe deer, deer and chamois, winter is a hard time! Every disturbance by us humans, every flight, becomes torture for these animals and saps their reserves. Stay on the published route! This protects the wildlife and quiet areas .
