If on biking days you d rather hike just let us know and we can divide the group accordingly. After lunch enjoy a short walk as a way to get to know one anothe before continuing to a traditional alpine village high above the young Rhein River and nestled below the rocky, snowcapped peak of Piz Beverin. Situated in the heart of a farming village high up in the Alps of the Graubunden region of Switzerland,this land of dairy farmers is known for harsh winters. In summer the cows roam the hillsides freely as the farmers cut the lowland grass. This is also where our tour designer grew up.
Life goes on here the way it has for centuries.
Tourists are rare, and the only people that come to this high mountain farming village are friends and relatives or someone who has been let in on its beauty. Hiking through the rural villages and farmlands of Cornelia's childhood is her way of introducing the traditional Swiss way of life. Enjoy some fresh milk or cheeses while watching the farm-dogs bring in the many cows, bearing huge bells, to be milked. Very simple and whatever modern conveniences are lacking are made up for with traditional authenticity. At the hotel includes wine or beverage of choice.
