Hiking holidays Via Valtellina South
Hiking: Via Valtellina
The wine must have been something very special, considering the efforts that were necessary to bring the Valtellina wine to the north. The traders crossed countless passes to bring the noble wine to the people of Austria and Switzerland. Perhaps it was not only the prospect of great profit that led the wine merchants to this route, but the beauty of the Grisons as well?- 6 Days / 5 Nights

Poschiavo – San Romerio

Easy beginning, steep end. While the passages in the Engadine are easy to negotiate, the tour over Alpe Romerio will challenge you, both in terms of your physical condition and the terrain. This tour requires good basic fitness and sure-footedness.
