What’s best about the Waldhaus isn’t actually the Waldhaus itself…

…IT’S WHAT’S BEYOND OUR DOORSTEP!

All the lovely WALKS, for instance. Our whole region provides an extraordinary range of beautiful opportunities, from peaceful strolls in the surrounding woods to challenging climbs with a mountain guide.

FREE TO MOVE AROUND. The Waldhaus offers all its guests a free regional bus pass in the area between Sils, Maloja, St. Moritz, Zuoz and Pontresina, even all the way to Val Bregaglia, to Soglio and to Chiavenna in Italy. Our summer and autumn guests get a pass to all cable cars and chair lifts throughout the region. Engadiner Bergbahnen

WE’LL SHOW YOU THE WAY! Five evenings a week, from June to October, a hiking guide is available for all your questions regarding walks and excursions. Mon through Fri, our guide also organizes and leads daily mountain walks in small groups, free of charge. And the Waldhaus has two useful little brochures dedicated to our hiking guests, providing further ideas. The tourist office also organizes guided hikes with various themes.

MOUNTAIN BIKES and electro-bikes for rent at the hotel. Will you promise not to startle the hikers?

For those who aim higher, the association of local MOUNTAIN GUIDES regularly offers guided tours in small groups, as well as private guides.

Or treat yourself to a day trip organized by the postal buses, a peaceful ride on a scheduled motor boat on Lake Sils (approx. June 20 to early October – also included in the Waldhaus pass), or a horse carriage or, more economically, the public horse omnibus from Sils to the Fex Valley.

Some beautiful and strikingly different regions are within comfortable reach. Switzerland’s only NATIONAL PARK, for instance; or, descending the Maloja Pass, the BREGAGLIA valley and beyond it the Italian border town of Chiavenna and the sunny shores of Lake Como. The nearest palm tree is only an hour’s drive away! Across the Bernina Pass lies the beautiful southern valley of POSCHIAVO. Be sure to ask about our brochures regarding Val Poschiavo and Val Bregaglia, written just for Waldhaus guests.
