Upper Engadine hiking guide

<p>"Allegra - rejoice" has been the Rhaeto-Romanic greeting in the Engadin since time immemorial. And indeed, the Upper Engadine offers every reason to rejoice: there are few places in the Alps where hikers can experience spectacular glacier streams and mighty ice giants as closely as in the "Festival Hall of the Alps" at the foot of Piz Bernina. 50 varied routes in this region can be found in the Rother hiking guide "Upper Engadine".</p><p>It's not just the mild climate and the many hours of sunshine that make the Upper Engadin's lakes and mountains a magnificent hiking area, but also the panoramic views offered to walkers from the peaks around the towns of Pontresina, St. Moritz and Zuoz. The routes presented in this hiking guide range from cultural hikes in the valley to numerous hut and high-altitude trails, as well as some attractive three-thousand-metre peaks.</p><p>Each suggested route is presented with clear brief information, a detailed route description, a colorful map section with the route marked and a meaningful elevation profile. GPS tracks to download make it easier to find your way. Furthermore, there are plenty of tips for refreshments, suggestions for variations and recommendations for families with children.</p><p>The authors Rudolf and Siegrun Weiss have compiled the most beautiful routes from their home in the Upper Engadine for this book. Their grandson Christian has now followed in their footsteps and is continuing the updating and research.</p
