Discover a lost world high above the Landquart valley in remote Graubünden.

This trip is led by Lou Stone, international mountain leader.

What's the plan?
We meet at 09:15 am at the valley station of Bergbahnen Grüsch-Danusa AG. We will take a scenic gondola ride to a little known paradise with breathtaking views, and head away from the crowds to discover secluded trails through rolling hills scattered with snowy trees.

The route we take and the distance we cover will depend on the snow conditions on the day and the ability of the group. Optional warm refreshments afterwards (time permitting) at Berghaus Schwänzelegg.
