01/ Overview

The route

Snowshoe tour starting in Lavin, right on the Inn River. The trail climbs through the lovely forests of the Engadin, enters the side valley and crosses the Aua da Zeznina creek. Beautiful Alp Zeznina is your interim destination before you return to the valley.

The snowshoe tour in Plans begins at the Lavin, Plazza Gronda stop (around 260 m). Over roughly 8 km with about 440 m of ascent, the path first rises through dense forest, then opens out onto extensive alpine pastures. The climb becomes steeper and leads to just over 1'810 m, immediately below the Piz Giarsinom.

After the highest point a long descent follows over open terrain back to the village. The track often traverses wide slopes before the tree line and the first houses of Lavin finally reappear. Return to the starting point in Plans after just under four hours.

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Snowshoeing is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
