This circular hike of up to 7 km around Zernez can be started from various points. It leads around the entire village up to the church of San Bastian and Costetta, from where you can enjoy the magnificent view of the snow-covered holiday village. This winter hiking trail is ideal for a leisurely walk and can also be done with children, as the hike can be interrupted at any time.
Author’s recommendation
Zernez is fascinating not only as the gateway to the National Park, but also with its authentic Engadine architecture and way of life.
