About this experience

Your guide will greet you at the meeting point before accompanying you into the mountains of Graubünden, a region known for its high Alpine landscapes, historic rail routes, and distinctive local culture.

The day begins in St. Moritz, a town that helped shape the history of Alpine tourism. Situated in the Upper Engadin Valley at around 1,800 metres above sea level, it is known for its clear mountain air, lakeside setting, and long connection to winter sports. As you walk through the town, your guide will explain how St. Moritz grew from a small mountain community into one of Switzerland's most recognised resort destinations. Along the way, enjoy views of Lake St. Moritz and the surrounding peaks while learning about the traditions and culture of the Engadin region.

Beyond its international reputation, St. Moritz remains closely connected to its local roots. The Engadin is one of the few areas where Romansh, one of Switzerland's national languages, continues to be spoken, reflecting a strong regional identity that has been preserved for generations.

From St. Moritz, continue into the Bernina region, home to some of the highest peaks in eastern Switzerland. The landscape gradually changes as the route climbs higher into the mountains, revealing glaciers, rocky slopes, and wide Alpine panoramas. A cable car journey to Diavolezza brings you close to the high mountain environment, where snow, ice, and exposed rock dominate the landscape.

From the viewing areas, take in views of the Morteratsch and Pers Glaciers, two of the largest glacier systems in the region. Your guide will explain how these glaciers continue to shape the landscape and why the Bernina Range is considered one of the most significant mountain areas in Switzerland. Looking across the valley, you'll also see Piz Bernina, the highest peak in the Eastern Alps.

Throughout the visit, you'll gain an appreciation for the contrast between the refined character of St. Moritz and the raw Alpine scenery of the Bernina range. Together, these locations highlight two distinct sides of Graubünden: a region shaped by both mountain culture and the powerful forces of nature.

Your visit concludes in the Bernina region before returning with your guide to the original meeting point, bringing an end to a day spent among some of Switzerland's most remarkable Alpine landscapes.
