Direct link to the highest peaks It has long been common knowledge that the Upper Engadine enjoys an outstanding reputation as a ski region. However, are you aware of all the different facets of the white valley? Winter means more than just downhill skiing. The Engadine has a wealth of sparkling alternatives nestling in its silent side valleys and large ski arenas. Cross-country skiing along the Morteratsch Glacier Trail, curling on the frozen lake, winter hiking in the mountain forests or remote ski tours across pristine snow.

And the wonderful thing is that guests can choose from a series of “dining rooms” to suit their taste: in the Grand Restaurant, the jewel of La Stüva, opposite in the Colani Stübli and in the charming Gondolezza.
