The Fex Valley is located 11 km from Saint Moritz and 45 km from Chiavenna (Italian border) at an altitude of 1800 metres. It is a marvellous natural setting in the Upper Engadine region. A veritable eco-system, this valley is unique, peaceful and protected, with no cars and no possibility of building. It enjoys an average of 320 days of sunshine a year.

The Klucker house was built over 400 years ago on Fex Platta, on the valley's first plateau. Its former owner Christian Klucker, a famous mountain guide, gave it his name. Since then, it has been known as the "Kluckerhaus". In the 1930s, the house was acquired by the Cramer family, who have been preserving its authenticity for 3 generations.

Fex is in the heart of the mountains and larch forests. You can enjoy an exceptional panorama, with the valley glacier, the Tremoggia (3441 m altitude), the Chapütschin (3386 m altitude), the Marmoré and the Muot Ota (2275 and 2458 m altitude respectively) in front of you.at the back of the property winds the "Fexbach", a transparent turquoise river that flows through Sils Maria and into the Inn. Sils can be reached on foot via the Schluchtweg, which takes around 15/20 minutes.

Description of the location: Sils - Enrichment for body and soul Sils is a hotbed of energy. You can measure it. Writers such as Nietzsche, artists such as Beuys and musicians such as David Bowie have all found inspiration in the fantastic landscape and wonderful light, and have contributed to Sils' reputation as THE cultural location in the Engadin. Tourists from all over the world, as well as the locals, are proud to describe their village as an energy hotspot, and with good reason. Idyllically nestled between the lakes of Sils and Silvaplana, the village is situated at the entrance to the romantic Val Fex: an ideal starting point for walks through these light-filled landscapes. In winter, you can explore the Val Fex by horse-drawn sleigh, while Furtschellas offers a number of hiking routes if you want to climb higher. But Sils is also an ideal starting point for winter hikes and cross-country ski tours through the expanses of frozen lakes that nestle against the Furtschellas, the local mountain. From here, it's a short walk to Corvatsch. This is the highest ski lift station in the Eastern Alps (3303 m). From here, 120 km of very sporty runs take you back down to the valley.
