Morteratsch Ride in the Swiss Alps
SWISS ALPS | 3 DAYS, 2 NIGHTS | FROM FR. 1200.-
Experience the magic of the Engadin in a truly special way: on horseback, in harmony with nature and far removed from everyday life. The Morteratsch Ride takes you on an unforgettable three-day journey from Madulain through quiet larch forests, along impressive mountain scenery, all the way to the majestic Morteratsch Glacier. From the very first moment in the saddle, you’ll leave the rhythm of daily life behind. Step by step, you’ll immerse yourself in a world of crisp mountain air, vast landscapes, and soothing tranquility. Accompanied by experienced guides and reliable horses, you’ll not only discover the beauty of the Upper Engadin, but also the unique connection between humans, animals, and nature.
The highlight of this journey awaits you in Val Morteratsch: a striking glacier landscape whose quiet power leaves a lasting impression and creates space for unforgettable moments. These memories are captured in a lovingly curated photo gallery - keepsakes that will stay with you.
The Morteratsch Ride is more than just an excursion - it’s a retreat for body and mind, a small adventure, and an invitation to reconnect with yourself.
This offer is a collaboration with Reiten & Yoga. Accordingly, we expect a predominantly German-speaking group, and bookings are made directly through Reiten & Yoga - message me if you're english speaking but want to join (registration is in german).
Program
Day 1
We meet on the first day at midday for a shared lunch at the Engadin River Ranch. Afterwards, we get to know our horses and ride to Bever to the Gasthaus Spinas, our accommodation for the first night. Then it’s time to relax: we enjoy the last rays of sunshine of the day - either individually outside on the terrace, with a good book, or in great conversations with our fellow riders - always surrounded by the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Upper Engadin. We spend the evening in the cozy dining room, indulge in a delicious dinner, and let the first day come to a peaceful close.
Day 2
Rise and shine - well rested, we treat ourselves to a hearty breakfast. Afterwards, we groom and saddle our horses and set off toward Val Morteratsch - a day to recharge in nature, wander through larch forests, breathe in the scent of Swiss stone pines, and admire the impressive mountain landscape. In the afternoon, we reach the Morteratsch Glacier, where our hotel is located. Here, we take time to capture some beautiful memories of you and your faithful companion in this extraordinary setting. We care for our horses and then enjoy a well-deserved dinner.
Day 3
You’ve probably rarely slept this peacefully. Val Morteratsch is far from any civilization - the perfect place to forget everyday life and feel at one with yourself and the surrounding nature. We start the day at a relaxed pace and enjoy views of the Morteratsch Glacier already at breakfast. Afterwards, we mount our horses one last time and ride back to Madulain along a different route high above Pontresina. Back at the River Ranch, we take care of the horses and, after a rich apéro in the evening, begin our journey home - tired, content, and carrying wonderful memories with us.

Your Guide + Photographer
I’m Joanna - a horse girl at heart since forever and a passionate traveler. Over the past years, I’ve spent around 17 months exploring the world, including many weeks and months working as a volunteer, guide, and photographer on ranches in Canada, Chile, Argentina, and Ecuador. Since those experiences, I’ve been sharing the unique rides I’ve personally experienced and wholeheartedly recommend through Untamed Trails - so far with a clear focus on South America.
Cat and I share a passion for extraordinary riding experiences all around the world - which is how we met in 2025 and have been working together ever since. It’s a true pleasure to offer this Morteratsch Ride as a joint project with Reiten & Yoga.
I’m incredibly excited to accompany this multi-day ride in the Engadin: there will be no yoga on this ride, but in addition to our guide from the Engadin River Ranch, you’ll also be accompanied by me as a guide and photographer. For me, the joy of this experience is at the very heart of it - if the participants are glowing in the saddle just as much as I am, then this journey has been a true success.
