Sledging trails in the Lower Engadine

Fresh air and snow spray in our faces, we rush through the forest down to the valley: in the Engadin Scuol Zernez holiday region, almost every village has a sledging trail, numerous excursion restaurants and rental stations for sledges. We master the way up to the start, sometimes on foot, sometimes by gondola or chair lift. Right now we are on one of the longest runs in Grisons and enjoy the view over Ftan to Tarasp Castle. Arrived at our destination we take the chair lift and go up again to the start in Prui. In the mountain restaurant we warm up with a hot chocolate and let the snow dry on our cheeks – or are these tears of joy?
