Cable railways, secret tip

The aerial cable car from Surlej-Silvaplana to the Corvatsch tempts the rider towards superlatives. Together, both sections convey the guest from 1,877 to 3,305 meters; the deep blue sky of the Engadine seems close enough to touch. The view down to Lake Sils and to Piz Bernina with the Bianco Ridge is incomparable.
