Enjoy a week of outdoor action and winter magic in the Engadin Valley – for body, soul, and spirit
What to expect
For the first time we are offering a snow week where you can experience the beauty of the Engadin in the middle of deep winter! This is an offer for anyone who enjoys winter sports, community, and spiritual encouragement and challenge. The main activity will be skiing, where we will split up into 2-3 different groups depending on skill levels and the number of participants. We will not be offering an official “ski school”, but we will of course be happy to share tips and tricks. The beautiful Motta Naluns ski area in Scuol is about 20 minutes away from Lavin and offers a good variety of slopes for all levels.
People who don’t ski are also welcome, and winter sports such as cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing, and sledding are also possible in towen or very close by. If there are enough interested people, you can also get together as a small group for the other activities than skiing. If you have any questions about the area and possibilities, we are happy to help.
We are delighted that Jonathan Halsey, our guest speaker from England will be sharing in the mornings and evenings about what it means to follow the call of Jesus and to reflected Him in our everyday lives.
Important: This week will be held in German! (Jonathan also speaks German 🙂 )
Accommodation
We are planning to have both bigger accommodations “Palantschin” and “Plan Sura” available during this week to be able to host a few more people than during our regular programs. This way we can also offer more double rooms.
The meals and the sessions with Jonathan will take place on the top floor, in the group accommodation “Palantschin”.

Start: Sunday Jan. 18th at 6pm with dinner, arrival possible after 4pm in the afternoon
End: Saturday Jan. 24th in the morning around 11am
