Hiking and walking in the Swiss mountains
Hiking in the Swiss mountains requires careful preparation, particularly when accompanied by dogs. Due to steep terrain, unpredictable weather, and the presence of livestock or livestock guardian dogs, owners must consider the dog's age, health, and physical condition. Specific regional regulations regarding leash requirements and protected areas vary by canton and municipality.
In the Scuol region of the Engadin, various walking paths offer opportunities to experience the landscape through easier routes. Options include walks through the Vulpera Kurpark or along the Inn River, which focus on cultural landscapes and natural scenery rather than intense physical exertion. Visitors are advised to prepare for changing weather and terrain conditions by carrying appropriate footwear and supplies.
