we are just back from five fantastic days in engadin! all of last week we went on a snowshoe hike each day — enjoying fantastic scenery, lots and lots of sunshine, and excellent food. the whole week was organized by the dav summit club as part of their genuss plus1 program, meaning we got to stay in s-chanf in a very nice hotel with hot shower ensuite (!) and excellent 4-course dinner meals every night!
the engadin is one of the nicest areas of switzerland. i especially (given my vertigo) appreciated the rounded mountain tops without dramatic chasms! the language spoken there is romantsch, an ancient language with place names that could have come straight out of the lord of the rings.
in case you are interested, we’ve taken a couple of pictures for you to enjoy 
also, here’s the list of googleearth tracks for each day:
- monday, 2008-02-18, muntische
- tuesday, 2008-02-19, piz murtiröl
- wednesday, 2008-02-20, piz campagnun
- thursday, 2008-02-21, munt griatschouls
- friday, 2008-02-22, chamanna d’es-cha
-
which translates as, roughly, “enjoyment plus”…roughly… ↩
