Walking in the Engadine - Switzerland : Bernina, Engadine valley and Swiss National Park

With St Moritz at its heart and the wild Lower Engadine to the east, this is a walking destination of extraordinary range—from gentle meadow and forest walks to strenuous high-level routes for experienced alpine walkers. This comprehensive guidebook by Kev Reynolds describes 100 graded day walks ranging from 4 to 16km (2 to 10 miles), plus two multi-day treks: the Bregaglia Circuit (65km over 6–7 days with a glacier crossing) and a traverse of the Swiss National Park (46km over 3–4 days). The walks are organised across the Val Bregaglia, the Upper Engadine lakes region, Val Bernina, and the Lower Engadine, offering everything from short gentle rambles to strenuous alpine routes with scrambling. Must-see highlights include panoramic views from Tombal and Berghaus Diavolezza, Morteratsch glacier, and hut walks to the Coaz Hut, Tschierva Hut, and Boval Hut above Pontresina. Each walk is accompanied by overview sketch maps and detailed information on planning, mountain huts, and public transport, with easy access from St Moritz and Zernez. Summer and autumn are the recommended seasons, with high-level routes and glacier approaches best attempted from late June onwards. Explore the Engadine, Val Bregaglia, and the Swiss National Park with confidence.
