Snowshoe walking in the night is almost like a fairy tale, so what could be a better way to spend your Saturday night than with a very nice and easy tour in the moonlight, accompanied by a nice homemade soup, yummy Swiss cheese and a glass of Glühwein? Let yourself enchant and walk through the sparkling starry winter night through the forest of Monbiel.

This event is led by Otto van Andel, international mountain leader.

Event description

Meet Otto at 16:45 at Klosters Monbiel Parkplatz. Easy hike through the forest and in the beautiful surrounding valleys, with some breaks for snacks, dinner and Glühwein. Return to the car park between 21:30 and 22:00 to make sure everyone catches the train.
