Moonlight guided snowshoeing, outdoor dinner & Glühwein

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 moonlight guided snowshoeing, 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.

What’s the plan

Meet Otto at 17:45 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 around 22:00 to make sure everyone catches the train.
