Good to Know Silvaplana - Ein Mekka für Wassersportler. Neben Surfern und Seglern trifft man seit Sommer 1998 auch die Trendsportler, die Kitesurfer auf dem See an. Im Winter wird das Kiten auf Skis oder Snowboard auf dem zugefrorenen See ausgeübt. Mit dem Hausberg Corvatsch mit seinen 3303 m ü. M. bietet Silvaplana außerdem ein einmaliges Winter- sportgebiet für Ski- und Snowboardfahrer und im Sommer ein Ausgangsort für viele einmalige Wanderungen.
