ENGADIN ST. MORITZ: WHERE STR ATEGIES ARE MADE WITH V ISION!
View from Muottas Muragl over the Upper Engadin lake plateau
The Upper Engadin is renowned for its awe-inspiring, pristine Alpine scenery. Its unspoilt natural landscape makes the Engadin St. Moritz region the perfect setting for meetings, incentives and conventions. Situated at 1,800 metres above sea level, the high-lying valley is renowned for its sunny climate. Breathtaking panoramic vistas, the seemingly endless expanse of the lake-strewn Engadin plateau and the exceptional quality of the light combine to enchant visitors from all over the world. Scintillating St. Moritz and the inspiring glacier village of Pontresina are two very appealing incentive and conference destinations in the Alps. The modern Convention and Event Centre Pontresina, numerous top-class seminar and conference hotels, as well as various mountain huts, are available as venues for a wide variety of events for up to 500 persons. And all around, the natural landscape of the Upper Engadin forms an unrivalled backdrop for a host of outdoor activities and social events.

A LPHÜTTE CL AVA DATSCH, ST. MORITZ SU V RETTA
(ONLY OPEN IN W INTER)
Until 1956 a simple cattle shed, today the Clavadatsch Alpine hut is something of an insider tip. It enjoys a superb location on the slopes of the Suvretta in St. Moritz, surrounded by villas. Outside, on the site where a dung heap once stood, is a sheltered terrace, offering stunning views of the Corvatsch mountain and the lakes of the Upper Engadin. In inclement weather, the cast-iron wood stove keeps guests snug and warm, and gives rise to a cosy, rustic ambience. Thus the Clavadatsch Alpine restaurant is a fantastic experience, no matter what the weather. The hut is a 40-minute walk from St. Moritz–Dorf, but can also be reached by horse-drawn carriage/sled or on skis. The menu includes hearty Graubünden barley soup and chicken prepared over an open fire, as well as tasty focaccia bread and pizzas from the stone oven. The rooms above the restaurant are also popular venues for workshops. Restaurant

Theme trails Take your time, and the mountains will reveal their mysteries. Walk in the footsteps of great philosophers or explore the secrets of nature with all your senses. Simply ride up the mountain and choose between a stroll along the Philosophers’ Trail or a hike up to the realms of the ibex (depending on conditions). Or learn about the future of energy on a hike between 1,770 and 3,057 metres above sea level and discover how St. Moritz is setting trends worldwide in the sphere of renewable energy with an integrated programme that includes hydroelectricity, solar energy, lake heat power and biogas. Follow the trail of ibex and marmots – for example, in the Swiss National Park. Switzerland’s only national park covers an area of 170 square kilometres, including 80 kilometres of hiking trails, and takes visitors into a pristine forest, mountain and rocky landscape. The unique fauna with its abundance of game is particularly attractive in autumn, during the rutting season. Take in the sights, sounds and smells of nature on an individual or guided hike through the park. In 2014, the Swiss National Park celebrates its 100th anniversary.
