Snowshoe hiking
On quiet paths through the snowy nature. Sils has three marked snowshoe routes. They lead to the beach club on the shores of Lake Silvaplana and to the spectacular Muotta da Güvè viewpoint.
All of the routes have been certified by the Swiss Snowshoe Association. They are consistently marked, signaled, avalanche-safe and environmentally friendly. These are the first and only SVS snowshoe routes in the Engadin. You always use them at your own risk. For the sake of the wild animals, we ask you not to leave the official routes.
