Guided village tours

Villages in the Engadin are steeped in history and filled with cultural and architectural highlights and historical tourist hotspots. A range of guided tours allows you to discover each of the villages. You can even opt for a digital tour in Sils. engadin.ch/village-tours

1 Schlitteda

This tradition dates back to a time when horsedrawn sleighs were the only way to travel during the winter. People would even travel to weddings this way. Now, on the second Sunday in January every year, young men travel to pick up their dates on a beautifully decorated horse-drawn sleigh. While the Schlitteda tradition used to be exclusive to unmarried couples, it has evolved to become a celebration open to everyone in the villages. engadin.ch/arts-culture
