Muottas Muragl
The panoramic view from the top of Muottas Muragl, accessed by steep funicular from Punt Muragl, is unmissable summer or winter, offering an uninterrupted gaze southwest up the length of the Engadine, its string of lakes glittering in the sunlight between high peaks. The summit Berghotel has reinvented itself as a fine 
restaurant ( 
081 842 82 32, 
www.muottasmuragl.ch ), with an excellent menu of regional and international cuisine complemented by an outstanding wine list and spectacular views: book in advance for a window table. Lunch is a reasonable Fr.35 or so, rising to Fr.75 or more per head in the evening. Throughout the season, the funicular runs every half-hour until 11pm. The Berghotel's spotlessly clean, fresh but simple shared-bath rooms are a rare bargain (Price: Fr.100–200); guests benefit from discounts on the funicular. The mountain also offers great walks and a winter toboggan run.
