You get one hour to escape from mysterious rooms searching for hidden doors, solving puzzles, finding hints and keys and using strange objects. Only 30% of the teams have escaped so far. Will you? (The adventure is very thrilling, but not dangerous at all, contains no horror elements). Have fun as standard (up to 8 people) or duel (up to 16 people). With three episodes at the same time 2 - 48 people can experience an exciting and puzzling adventure.

I stayed in Guarda in late September/October 2019 for three days. Quite by accident, our sojourn coincided with a festival where the cows and goats are brought down from the Alps to the village to spend the winter. This was absolutely charming! The animals were decorated with daisy/flower chains and many of their herders were in national/local dress. There were stalls selling local handmade trinkets and foods, and a wonderful festive atmosphere pervaded the whole village. However, what struck us most were the magnificent views! I felt like I was in a film set of Heidi! In fact, the 2015 Heidi film was filmed in the area. The snow-capped mountains and lush green valleys were a sight to behold. Stunning! The village itself is completely preserved, and full of quaint homes , beautifully painted and decorated. We ate at the Meissner Hotel which had a terrace overlooking the valley - magnificent views. The village has great walking trails, and we spent hours trekking up higher and higher, just to get an even better view around the next corner. I would thoroughly recommend a trip to this charming, quaint little village for anyone who needs an escape from the humdrum of everyday life. You will come away completely refreshed and ready to conquer the world! Gorgeous!

Quite a spectacular natural phenomenon are the 'Giant's cauldrons', the glacial potholes near Cavaglia at an altitude of a bit more than 1700m asl. From the railway station of the Rhätische Bahn it is an about 500m walk to get here, but most time will be spent at the 'Giardino dei Ghiacciai', the Glacier Garden, itself. There are several glacial potholes, formed, when most of the Poschiavo valley had been covered by the Palü glacier. Water, gravel and stones under the ice did mill these holes into the bedrock. On one of several information boards - Italian and German only - is explained, why this happened just here. In the 1990's a group of friends decided to free these holes from debris and water, so that the whole sculpture garden can be admired by visitors. The trail goes past many of these 'marmitte dei giganti' with protective railings and information on each numbered pothole about its depth, its diameter and its capacity. Some holes go to a depth of 14m with a capacity of up to 135 cubic meters. A visit of the Glacier Garden is free and possible between May and October. Just below it a new project gets opened with an additional trail through a canyon. The glacial potholes of Cavaglia must be one of the most special geological formations of this type, especially for the sheer number of holes close to each other. In Switzerland many will know the 'Gletschergarten' of Lucerne, but the same phenomenon can also be encountered at Zermatt and Maloja. Elsewhere such 'giant's kettles' are to be seen in Bavaria, Austria, Scandinavia, North America, northern South America (Venezuela, Colombia) and in South Africa (Blyde River).
