Contrasts.
The contrasts that make the Engadin, between Maloja and Zernez, so unique really come to the fore during the months of summer. Majestic Alpine landscapes with glittering white peaks and bizarrely beautiful glaciers rub shoulders with idyllic deep blue lakes and lush green Alpine meadows with their sweet, bright and fragrant flora. These contrasts are also reflected in the 13 Upper Engadin villages and in the culinary range on offer.Engadine walnut cake
"Fuatscha grassa" is the name that the people of the Engadine give to the sweet shortcrust pastry with which they make their famous Engadine walnut cake. But it is the filling that is truly memorable: walnuts, honey, caramel and cream. Engadine confectioners who worked in Italy, France and America in the 18th century are said to have brought the recipe home, perfecting it here. Today, Engadine walnut cake is one of the gastronomic icons of Graubünden, a Swiss culinary classic that is exported all over the world.
