Bünder Haute Route

The Engadin mountains offer perfect conditions for a multi-day ski tour with impressive peaks, varied descents and cosy overnight stays in mountain huts. Our tour takes us through one of the most beautiful regions in Graubünden, between the Upper Engadin, Davos and the Lower Engadin, where we can enjoy the vastness of the high alpine landscape. We start relaxed and get in the mood for the coming days before moving from hut to hut through the fascinating winter landscape. Each day we choose the tour destinations to suit the current conditions and the group. There are both classic peaks and lesser-known routes to choose from - from open slopes with enjoyable descents to alpine ascents for experienced ski tourers. Overnight stays in cosy mountain huts make this tour a special experience. Here we end the day in a convivial atmosphere and discuss plans for the next day. Whether in the Upper Engadine, the Lower Engadine or the Davos mountains, this multi-day tour promises varied routes, impressive views and exciting ski touring moments.

Accommodation

  • Chamanna D`Escha

    The Chamanna d'Es-cha is situated high above Madulain on a sunny terrace at the foot of Piz Kesch. From here we can enjoy a breathtaking view over the Engadin as far as the Bernina peaks. The small, cosy hut is a classic base for ski and mountain tours in the region and offers a family atmosphere.

  • Kesch hut

    The modern yet cosy Keschhütte is perched on a rocky ridge above the Val Tuor with a fantastic view of the mighty Piz Kesch. It is known for its comfortable infrastructure, its ecological construction and not least for its excellent cuisine. As an ideal starting point for impressive high-altitude ski tours in the region, the hut combines alpine originality with cosy hospitality.

  • Grialetsch hut

    The Grialetschhütte is idyllically nestled between Davos, the Flüela Pass and the Lower Engadine. It is an ideal starting point for ski tours to surrounding peaks such as the Radüner Rothorn, Piz Grialetsch or Piz Sarsura. The cosy SAC hut impresses with its warm atmosphere and unique location in the middle of the high alpine landscape. After an eventful day in the snow, this is a wonderful place to relax, recharge your batteries and round off the tour with a good meal.

That's what our guests say:

  • Robert Brennwald

    I took part in the Grisons Haute Route 2022. Everything was superbly organised. Great camaraderie, great stages, great accommodation, only the weather didn't always want to play along, but this didn't detract from the success. I can warmly recommend Bergschaft and will be going on tours with Bergschaft again myself. Many thanks and continued successful tours.
  • Robert Brennwald

    This was my 2nd time on a Haute Route with Bergschaft. First the Grisons, then the Valais. Both tours were super organised, super guided. The scenery, especially on the Valais Haute Route, was stunning. Even if the weather didn't always play ball, it was great fun in a group. Everyone pitched in at the bivouac, whether it was melting snow for soup, cooking or washing up, it was just great to be able to experience moments like this. Many thanks! I can only advise everyone to sign up and experience such unforgettable moments. I can highly recommend Bergschaft, everything is very professionally organised and run, for me it is clear that this will not be the last tour.
