Celerina – Once every winter, usually at the start of March, the piste by the Proluvèr ski lift is transformed into an arena where ski instructors and members of the Upper Engadin Ski Demo Team perform under the bright lights. Foodie market stalls and a DJ get the good times flowing in the area around the finish line. engadin.ch/ski-school-celerina

Turning towards the light

Thanks to its unique geographical location, the Engadin is one of the sunniest spots in Switzerland, with over 320 sunny days each year. The plateau opens towards the north-east, where the summer sun rises, and turns towards the south-west, where the winter sun sets. That means the villages in the Upper Engadin are exposed to as much sunlight as possible – all year round and all day long. engadin.ch/en
