EPIC 10,000 Foot Swiss Mountain Hike (You Won't Believe It)

Hiking the Alps, Switzerland - climbing Piz Languard near Pontresina and St. Moritz, Engadin, Switzerland! An out of this world hike, reaching nearly 11,000 feet!

Nonna and Grandpa kindly gave us another lift to this hike, where we got the chairlift halfway up the mountain. We saw our route on the map and heard some of the local wildlife - marmots. We also had our eyes peeled for steinbock, or alpine ibex, which are known to live on the Piz Languard and all around Pontresina and the Engadin region of Switzerland.

The ascent afforded us brilliant views and the opportunity to see St Moritz and further from a great vantage point. We also filled our bottles with some delicious (and cold!) water from the mountain. We needed it as the path got steeper and we made our way up the scree to the hut just 60m below the summit. Here we stopped for lunch and took in the beautiful scenery.

Hannah was feeling the altitude, having already climbed to way past 3,000 metres (10,000+ feet) above sea level so she decided she would stay at the hut - which was unfortunately not open. I pushed on and made it to the top of Piz Languard, one of the highest summits of the Livigno Alps and the highest summit of the range that lies west of the Livigno Pass.

Having seen a storm was headed our way, Hannah hurried us down the mountain and we just got caught in the start of the rain when we got back on the chairlift. Just before this, however, we managed to glimpse a few marmots on the mountainside - although there were no steinbock in sight on this day!

Stay tuned for more vlogs!
