Residenza Soliva App. Arnica

Residenz Soliva distinguishes between old and new, between inside and outside, between light and shadow. The fast 100-year-old Engadin farmhouse was completely renovated in 1999 and unites holiday apartments under one roof for seven years. The Soliva Residence is located between Sils Baslegia and Sils-Maria in a specific and optimal location with a view of the Val Fex and the magical Lake of Sils. The tastefully and functionally equipped apartments offer space to linger, the administrative skills looking for variety are welcome at Hotel Chesa Randolina. In the fair garden with old trees, you have a fair lawn. They all had the personal breadth and the magical light of Silsarbeit: writers like Nietzsche, Dürrenmatt and Kästner, artists like Beuys or Chagall and musicians like Strauss, Honegger and David Bowie. They are part of the fact that Sils is now known worldwide as the cultural center of the Engadine. With only 750 people entering, Sils is contemplative, heard and welcoming. The guests receive the relaxed tranquility in a different landscape, which is an enriching contrast to everyday life in the north, as well as the style style of Sils hotels, guest houses and holiday apartments. And they become part of a tradition that is not only controlled here, but also part of an authentic holiday feeling. If you look at the seemingly limitless expanse of the Sils plane and the deep blue see, you will understand Hermann Hessen, who once managed the area as a "paradise of dreams". The village is idyllically located between Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana and the self at the entrance to Val Fex, dotted with meadows of flowers and becomes a magically romantic experience in a carriage ride. Strollers will find their happiness in the vastness of this sunny landscape, which should have special powers. If you don't want to, you will find varied and attractive routes for hikes and mountain tours on the Furtschellas. The mountain landscape can also be admired impressively on the journey with Europe's steered ocean liner on Lake Sils.

Excursion possibilities:

What mountains. What lakes. What light! Whether on the 580km (360 miles) of hiking paths strewn over all the mountains or by mountain bike along 400km (250 miles) of fabulous trails: the Upper Engadin offers a superb network of paths and trails amidst an unspoilt Alpine landscape and the inspiring lake plateau. Four flow trails on the Corviglia guarantee a perfect flow. 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. And besides the wide range of sporting options, visitors can take advantage of the first-class cultural activities on offer, such as a visit to a museum or to one of the numerous art galleries in the various villages.  


In winter, the ski areas of Corviglia, Corvatsch, Diavolezza and family friendly Zuoz invite ski and snowboard enthusiasts to revel in 350 kilometres (218 miles) of the finest powder snow. Cross-country skiers will find over 220km (137 miles) of perfectly groomed trails in the Upper Engadin and the side valleys. The winter hiking paths and cross-country ski trails on the frozen Upper Engadin lakes are characterised by their light, sunshine and space amidst inspiring Alpine scenery. 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: Sils – an enrichment for the body, mind and soul
Sils is a place overflowing with life energy; this can actually be scientifically measured. But why bother when you are anyway guaranteed to fall under the spell of the landscape at first sight?
Writers such as Nietzsche, artists like Beuys, and musicians such as David Bowie drew inspiration from the wonderful open spaces and the magical light here, and each played a considerable role in establishing Sils as the cultural centre of the Engadin. These days – with good reason and not without a sense of pride – both local inhabitants and guests from all over the world describe Sils as a place abounding in life force and natural earth energy. For particularly high values on the Bovis scale – the life force index – have been measured here. Nestling idyllically between Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana, the village lies at the gateway to the romantic Fex Valley and is the perfect starting point for walks through this wide open, light-flooded valley. In winter, the best way to explore the valley is by taking a ride in a horse-drawn sleigh.
Those for whom the sky’s the limit will find a variety of routes for hiking and mountain-biking tours on Sil’s home mountain, the Furtschellas. Moreover, a trip on Lake Sils on board Europe’s highest-altitude scheduled cruise boat provides particularly spectacular views of the beautiful Alpine scenery.
However, Sils is also the perfect departure point for winter hikes and cross-country ski tours through the wide expanse of the frozen lakes, which trustingly huddle around the Furtschellas. From the Furtschellas, you can get higher still in no time at all – on the Corvatsch, home to the highest summit station in the Eastern Alps (3303m/10,836ft). And from here, 120 kilometres (75 miles) of challenging pistes lead back down into the valley.
