Intro

The many sunny days, the clear air, the Maloja wind: the Engadin lends itself perfectly to aquatic and winter sports. Discover the beautiful Engadin lakes, mountains such as the Bernina, Corvatsch and Corviglia, villages such as Pontresina, Bever, Zuoz – and of course St. Moritz.

Engadin at a glance

This is the Engadin

The Engadin can be found in the south-east of Switzerland in Graubünden. The valley with its lakes, mountains and side valleys is one of the most popular holiday and excursion regions in Switzerland.

Discover the Engadin

You can reach the Engadin from all directions. But you won’t find a journey quite like the one by train on the UNESCO-listed Albula/Bernina route to St. Moritz. On a short foray through the illustrious town, discover the Chesa Veglia, one of the Engadin’s oldest farmhouses. Local products such as wooden sculptures, honey or dried meat can be found in Pontresina or Silvaplana. In Bever and Zuoz, the sgraffiti-decorated facades are delightful, and in Samedan, you can look forward to the mineral baths & spa. You can enjoy a spectacular view of the Engadin from popular excursion mountain Muottas Muragl

Engadin lakes

The Engadin is characterised by four large mountain lakes as well as many smaller ones. Where the “Segl-Maria” sails across Lake Sils in the warmer months, anglers try their hand at ice fishing in winter. When the Maloja wind blows, windsurfing and kitesurfing fans can be seen having fun on Lake Silvaplana. For the illustrious White Turf horse racing event, the frozen Lake St. Moritz is transformed into a racecourse in winter. And what is probably the most beautiful cross-country ski route leads over all four frozen lakes.  

Sport and adventure in the Engadin

Mountains, valleys, lakes, and the best infrastructure: you can be sure that you will never get bored in the Engadin. From spring to autumn, you can look forward to hiking trails, mountain bike trails, golf courses and, of course, aquatic sports of all kinds. Winter in the Engadin is legendary, with its cross-country ski trails, snow parks and extensive ski areas. On the snow safari, you can discover nine of the most beautiful slopes in one day. A favourite secondary pastime in the Engadin? Soaking up the sun on the terrace of a mountain restaurant.

Around the Engadin

The Engadin is the ideal starting point for top excursions: experience the fairytale Val Bever, the Lower Engadin with the villages of Guarda and Scuol, or the Bernina Pass with Lago Bianco and Lago Nero. Over the Maloja Pass, you’ll come to Val Bregaglia with the mountain village of Soglio. At the other end of the valley is Zernez, gateway to the wilderness of the national park.

Experience the Engadin for less

Cable cars and mountain railways included: When you stay for two nights or more, the Upper Engadin’s cable cars and mountain railways are free of charge in summer and autumn. In winter, you can benefit from attractive ski pass offers such as the Snow Deal or Sleep + Ski.
