Description

Easy, enjoyable and a little exclusive. That's a very brief description of this snowshoe tour.

The start is in Waltensburg Demvitg. This is at the lower end of the elongated mountain village. Wearing snowshoes at the start, you walk through a residential area and later along forest and woodland paths towards 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. The views of the surrounding mountains are also really beautiful.

The way back is via 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 churches. The wall paintings by an unknown master from around 1330 are particularly valuable in terms of art history.

Sicherheitshinweis

This snowshoe tour has no dangerous places with avalanche danger. However, be sure to check the weather forecast and only set off in good conditions.

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

Winter is a wonderful time for us humans! Landscapes covered in deep snow, clear, pure air and a warm, cozy home waiting for you in the evening after your snowshoe tour. For our wildlife, however, such as roe deer, stags and gemsboks, winter is a tough time! Every disturbance by us humans, every escape, becomes torture for these animals and drains their reserves. Stay on the published route! This will protect the wildlife and resting areas.
