General presentation
Engadine et Saint-Moritz
High luminous valley of lakes, Romansh villages, glaciers, panoramic trains and elegant resorts.
The discovery of Engadine and St. Moritz revolves around St. Moritz, Engadine Lakes and Muottas Muragl. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, natural spaces and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very expensive and long distances. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Saint-Moritz
Saint-Moritz seduces by an elegant path between architecture and mountain setting, very legible from the first streets. The place really appreciates when you leave the centre for the lateral axes, where the details of the local life are drawn.
Nature
Lacs de l'Engadine
The lakes of Engadine stretched their mirrors between larch forests, villages and clear peaks. Depending on the wind and the hour, Silvaplana, Sils or Saint Moritz pass from metallic blue to milky reflections; it is an ideal landscape for walkers who like to see the mountain change without leaving the banks.
Place
Muottas Muragl
Muottas Muragl focuses on cascading views, with a journey that serves as a preamble to the global understanding of the Engadine. The climb is better if it is rhythmic by breaks on the high points, to frame the landscape.
Place
Pontresina
Pontresina keeps an elegant look, with its engadinian houses decorated with sgraffites and hotels facing the side valleys. The village serves as a threshold towards the glaciers of the Bernina, but it also offers a quiet visit between neat streets, pines, torrents and top silhouettes.
