Women’s Outdoor Days
Being active outdoors together, laughing, trying things out, motivating and inspiring each other. The Women's Outdoor Days - wonderfully relaxed! The shared experience, the idea of community and the absence of pressure to perform are at the forefront. The right ingredients for a fun, educational and eventful active weekend in the marvelous mountain scenery of the Engadin.
Mountain biking
The Engadin offers well-developed trails for every level of biker. Thanks to the lift and cable car shuttles, the meters in altitude can be mastered almost effortlessly and all the energy and concentration can be invested in the trail fun. Of course, there are still plenty of opportunities to burn off energy - depending on your preference.
Bike & Hike
The mountains around Pontresina are not only a biking paradise, but also entice visitors with panoramic summit destinations. The Piz Padella, above Samedan, beckons with an exciting ascent and a magnificent panoramic view of the Engadin mountains. After the summit ascent, the finest trails down into the valley offer great biking fun.
Stand-up paddling
Watch the sunrise from the water on Lake Silvaplana while marvelling at the alpine scenery - a truly special and unique experience.
For the mountain bike tours, participants can divide themselves into different ability levels so that everyone can enjoy it to the full. Thanks to the mountain lifts, fitness is not a limiting factor, so that the focus can be on riding technique. Of course, fun and enjoyment should not be neglected. Anyone who knows Patricia Roth’s and Andrea Hahn's “Bikeagentur” knows that this will be well catered for.

This camp is for all women who have some MTB experience and a solid basic level of fitness to deal with a maximum of 1000 metres in altitude spread over the whole day.

Program
The Hotel Palü is our first-class home base for the 3 days and starting point for the bike tours.
The tour starts directly from the hotel on a varied uphill to the Bernina Pass. If you prefer a more leisurely ride, you can take the Rhaetian Railway up to the Bernina Pass (bike ticket not included). At the top of the pass, a sensational descent begins down to the piazza in Poschiavo, which includes all facets of biking. After a coffee and gelati in the piazza, you take the Rhaetian Railway back to the Bernina Pass. From here, a dream trail leads directly to the hotel bar. There's sure to be plenty to talk about during the following wellness and aperitif.
- Length: approx. 45 kilometres, ascent: 1000 m, descent: 2300 m
The alpine bike & hike tour offers an attractive summit peak with the Piz Padella at 2855 metres above sea level. The cable car takes us comfortably up the first few metres in altitude, then we bike along varied trails to Munt da la Bes-cha, from where we hike up to the spectacular panoramic summit of Piz Padella. After climbing to the summit, we ride back down to the valley and Pontresina on the finest trails. The muscles can really relax during the subsequent wellness programme.
- Length: approx. 35 kilometres, ascent bike 550 m, ascent hike 300 m, descent hike 300 m, descent bike 1300 m
Experience the wonderful morning atmosphere on the lake, surrounded by a unique mountain panorama, and then enjoy a lavish breakfast at the Hotel Palü - that's the start to Sunday! At the end of the camp, the trails on the Corviglia biking mountain will be put to the test. The descent into the wild and romantic Val Bever offers both riding fun and a spectacular view!
