You don’t need to be a top athlete to be able to enjoy the great outdoors in the Upper Engadin – quite the opposite. You can explore the picturesque Upper Engadin lake district between Maloja and St. Moritz on a number of short hikes or easy walks. The physical exertion may not take your breath away, but the marvellous Alpine panoramas certainly will. Some of the more delightful walks include the lake trail along Lake St. Moritz to the smaller Lej da Staz, or the circular route that passes six small mountain lakes on Furtschellas and takes around two and a half hours. If you have small children, you can even do the latter hike together with a mountain fairy called Herzeleide and an elf called Naseweis. They stem from the colourful story and activity book Plitsch und Platsch, which makes the lake trail even more exciting for kids.
