Summer
In the summer the many activities on offer range from relaxing walks, light hikes, watching animals in the wild, to strenuous, professionally guided trekking tours. The circular 5.1 km Inline skating track goes right around the airfield. Talking of the airfield, the Samedan region is also well-known for its excellent thermal conditions and that's why it's known as the gliding mecca by flyers. Golf, tennis, riding, mountain biking, fishing and a very varied children's programme complete the range of offers.
