ST. MORITZERSEE

Suitable for all ages

Our recommendation for those who are in St. Moritz for the first time is to visit Lake St. Moritz or Lej da San Murezzan in Rhaeto-Romanic. In summer you can enjoy a leisurely walk around the lake (40-60 minutes) with a beautiful view of St. Moritz village and in winter you can also walk across the frozen lake or skate on the approximately one kilometer long ice rink, which is prepared for skaters daily. In addition, as in previous years, a standardized 400-meter track is being prepared for the Swiss Speed Skating Championships to be held in January. A cross-country skiing track also runs across the lake.

But that’s not all: If the situation allows it, you can also look forward to an ice hockey field, a curling field and a small village with deck chairs, beach chairs, music and food stalls. In addition, skijoring lessons are also offered. Skijoring is a winter sport in which a skier is pulled by a horse on a rope. It is a decade-old tradition on Lake St. Moritz and is celebrated at the annual horse races.

Every winter, well-known events also take place on the frozen lake: the White Turf and the Snowpolo Tournament.

VAL ROSEG

We love the Engadin landscapes and one of the most beautiful can be found in the alpine resting zone of Val Roseg, this was once covered by meters of ice and snow. An idyllic valley with numerous plants, forest and a stream, which in winter becomes a beautiful snowy wonderland. Thanks to the many benches along the way, you can always rest and simply enjoy the view.

The path to the hotel restaurant Roseg Glacier is about 7 km long and you can also get there comfortably with a horse-drawn carriage or with cross-country skis.

A hike takes about 2 hours (difficulty: medium).

Walk through Sils Maria

The beautiful village of Sils Maria has inspired many writers and artists, such as Nietsche, Dürrenmatt, Kästner, Chagall, Strauss and David Bowie. But this is not the only reason why it is recommended to visit the village, because it is simply a pleasure to walk through its small streets with typical Engadine houses to the lake of Sils and on the peninsula. The landscape around Sils is even more impressive in winter when everything is white.

If you need a coffee break to warm up or a small snack to fortify yourself, the Grond Café is the place to go.

More information:

https://www.engadin.ch/de/sils/

CARRIAGE RIDE TO VAL FEX

Suitable for all ages

Visiting the Fex Valley is a must, because the landscape is fabulously beautiful and great to enjoy with a carriage ride.

On the village square of Sils Maria there are several carriages ready to take guests to Val Fex. When you get there you can eat in one of the restaurants or stop for coffee and cake and then take the carriage back or enjoy nature a little longer with a leisurely walk.

We recommend the restaurant Chesa Pur, the first vegetarian restaurant in Engadine.

BERNINA EXPRESS

Suitable for all ages

Take the Bernina Express or simply the RhB to Puschlav or even to Tirano (Italy). The train ride over the Bernina Pass is simply breathtaking: It passes right through the imposing UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rhaetian Railway, past glaciers and down to the palm trees of the Puschlav, The panoramic route of this train is certainly one of the most spectacular in the European Alpine region: through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges from Chur to Tirano, including a 65 m high Landwasser Viaduct. Along the way, the train passes several highlights such as the Montebello Curve, the Morteratsch glaciers, Lago Bianco or the Brusio circular viaduct.

A ride on the Bernina Express is a real treat: just sit down and enjoy the spectacle.

WINTER HIKING

Is there anything more beautiful than a winter hike in the Engadin? The snow-covered mountain landscape is simply magical. In the Engadin, fantastic natural scenery is included in every route.

From St. Moritz to Bever

Hiking between St. Moritz and Bever means immersing yourself in a white and quiet winter wonderland. A short walk across the frozen St. Moritz lake (45 min.) is an experience, but for those seeking peace and quiet, the Val Bever is ideal. This enchantingly secluded side valley starts just behind Bever and offers a hike along the Beverin stream over snow-covered plains and through mystical winter forests (90 min. each way). Away from the surrounding ski areas, you will not only find the longed-for tranquillity and (with a bit of luck) deer, but also a 100-year-old, original French bowling alley in the “Spinas” inn.

Lake path St. Moritz – Sils – Maloja (SchweizMobil Route 313)

Difficulty: medium

From the St. Moritz cross-country skiing centre, the trail leads to the Olympic ski jump, then on to Lej Marsch, an idyllic mountain lake in the middle of the forest. From there the trail descends to the Lej da Champfèr. Walk along the left bank to Surlej and along Lake Silvaplana to Sils. If you still have energy, continue across the frozen Silsersee to Isola or Maloja. Winter hiking in the middle of the frozen Engadine lake landscape! When Lake Silvaplana is frozen, the route leads across the lake between Silvaplana and Sils.

Duration: approx. 4 hours (17 km)

Morteratsch (SchweizMobil Route 314) 

Difficulty: easy

The starting point is the Morteratsch railway station (? 46.45090, 9.94041), which can be easily reached by car or train. The Morteratsch Glacier Trail then leads guests on an easy path directly to the glacier tongue of the third longest glacier in the Eastern Alps. An educational trail provides information on the retreat of the glacier.

Duration: approx. 50 min.

Capricorn Promenade

Suitable for families with small children:

Difficulty: easy

On the ibex promenade starting from the Sta. Maria church in Pontresina, a winter hiking trail of one kilometre in length, children and adults receive entertaining information on the character of the animal, its habitat and its distribution at seven information pillars. The promenade is accessible all year round. If you are lucky, you can observe these fascinating animals there in May.

Duration: approx. 25 min.

Snowshoe hiking on the Muottas Muragl Hiking Mountain

Difficulty: medium

The Muottas Muragl is mainly visited because of the breathtaking view of the valley and the lakes. In winter, many people also like to go sledging there, but a snowshoe hike from there is also recommended:

It only takes a few steps from the hiking trail out into the untouched nature to be surrounded by complete snow silence. Beginners are best advised to follow the easy and thus blue-marked circular trail, which leads from and back to the mountain station over 3.1 km into the landscape. A somewhat more challenging (red) variant and a black-marked trail of around 7 km for experienced snow tourers also invite you for a hike. The panorama restaurant of the Romantik Hotel at the mountain station is the perfect place to celebrate the end of a wonderful day with a romantic sunset.

Duration: approx. 1:20 h

ST. MORITZ

Suitable for all ages

The center of St. Moritz may not be large, but it offers a good opportunity to take a leisurely stroll through the old streets, do some shopping and stop for a coffee and cake. For this, we recommend the Hanselmann confectionery. This has been in business since 1894 and is a traditional Swiss confectionery.

BRIDGE PUNT OTA

Suitable for all ages.

If you are going to Pontresina, we recommend a detour in the direction of the train station to the old Punt Ota bridge, which is located directly under the new Berninabach bridge, the connection between the train station and the village. From this bridge you have an incomparable view of the imposing gorge of Pontresina.

LAGO BIANCO

Suitable for all ages.

One of the most beautiful Engadin lakes is a reservoir on the Bernina Pass, which is fed with glacier milk (glacier water containing silt). This gives the lake the milky, whitish color that gave it its name. Lago Bianco is on the route of the famous Bernina Express of the Rhätische Bahn.

Hikers enjoy the beautiful path to the southern dam and on towards Alp Grüm, while mountain bikers love the route along the lake and further down into the valley to Poschiavo. But you can also easily get to the lake by car to just enjoy the view: In summer the lake has a beautiful light blue color and in winter the black ice is particularly impressive.

LAKE SILVAPLANA

Suitable for all ages.

It is well known that there are many lakes here in the Engadin and Lake Silvaplana is the most popular for water sports enthusiasts, although it is not supervised. Practice the various sports activities at your own risk.

Via dal Chastè
7513 Silvaplana-Surlej

SOGLIO TOUR

Soglio in Bergell is a dream in autumn. This ist the time for the chestnuts, which are collected by families and dried in old granite ovens, with the scent permeating the whole valley. Soglio is a medieval town made of Bergell granite, a visit is a wonderful experience.

You can reach Soglio by car or by bus in the direction of Maloja.
