Graubünden

The Upper Engadine

The Upper Engadine is one of the most scenic valleys in Switzerland, a heart-stoppingly beautiful array of forests, snowy mountains and silvery lakes, raised high at 1800m and looking southwest directly into the crispest and clearest sunshine in the Alps. The long, straight 55km run southwest from Zernez takes in a handful of attractive little resorts, all of them overshadowed by St Moritz, which holds court in mid-valley.

Beware that almost everything – shops, hotels, attractions, walking routes – is closed during off-season (mid-April to mid-June & mid-Oct to mid-Dec).
