Equally popular among sports enthusiasts are the Upper Engadin lakes; kiting, sailing, windsurfing, stand up paddling – the possibilities are virtually endless. The expanse of the inspiring high-lying valley can be experienced in a particularly striking way on the two 18-hole golf courses in Samedan and Zuoz.

Those who would like to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of the snow-covered forests can explore the side valleys of Val Roseg, Val Fex or Val Bever on 150 kilometres (90 miles) of winter hiking paths. Visitors who prefer to have everything in view, meanwhile, will delight in the breathtaking vistas on the panorama hiking trails high above the lakes on Muottas Muragl.
Families can bask in the Engadin sun during a ride in a horse-drawn carriage into the Val Roseg or Val Fex, or race down the mountainside into the valley on the winding, 4.2km (2.6 mile) long toboggan run on Muottas Muragl.

Location description: Samedan – the vibrant village in the Upper Engadin
Samedan is not just the political centre of the region, but also the hub of the Rhaetian Railway and home to a small international airport, the highest in Europe.
Yet in spite of its political and economic significance, Samedan has still retained its traditional Engadin heritage: in the village centre, the time-honoured rows of houses with their sgraffiti adornments are popular postcard motifs. There is a wealth of exciting highlights in store for culture lovers, too – in particular the renovated La Tuor cultural tower and the tradition-steeped Chesa Planta, accommodating a museum of living culture, the cultural archives and a Rhaeto-Romanic library.
Relaxation and recuperation can be enjoyed high above the rooftops of Samedan at the Mineral Baths & Spa, spread out over four floors. What’s more, the local mountain, the Muottas Muragl, boasts the most beautiful views of the Engadin and its lake-strewn landscape.
In summer, the La Senda nature trail above Samedan and the Water Trail down in the valley are a must-see for those thirsty for knowledge – and a fascinating experience for children, too. Modern trails delight mountain bikers, while the 18-hole golf course at the gateway to the village gets golfing enthusiasts’ pulses racing. In winter, the Survih ski area offers a children’s ski school, a cross-country ski centre and a thrilling toboggan run.
