Graubunden’s winter lovers can now pick among two skating trails that wind through the wilderness and pristine forest. One in Engadin. The other in the Albula Valley.

With birds in the trees, paw prints of wildlife imprinted in the snow and a new discovery beckoning around every bend, Skating along the trails is a magnificent way to spend the afternoon.

Engadin

The Engadin Ice Trail is a three-kilometer long skating trail that runs as a circuit from Sur En near Sent along the River Inn. One of the most unique trails in the entire region, experience unforgettable moments as you wind through a fairytale forest with family and friends.

Albula Valley

Also three-kilometers long, the Skateline created for skaters every winter in Surava is an unique attraction which came about as the result of coincidence.

Once a cross-country ski trail, after a skier complained the trail was too icy and difficult to negotiate with skis, trail designer Giorgio Bossi decided to transform the trail into a unique ice-skating track enabling visitors to explore the wintery forest with skates on their feet.

A popular destination among families as well as sports enthusiasts visiting alone or with their local clubs, the wonderous trail is open from mid December until March.

Visit during the day or try an evening skate through the forest after a days skiing. The trail is open until 9 pm, except on Sundays (5:30 pm). To maintain the forest's evening atmosphere, the trail is not lit. Instead skaters are equipped with headlamps.
