The high valley of the Upper Engadine with its diverse, 580 km hiking trail -Netz is a real paradise. The contrasts that characterize this region cast a spell on everyone. The archaic nature can be experienced up close, be it hiking on one of the breathtaking panoramic trails, an exciting themed hike, walking along the glittering lakes or on a multi-day trekking tour.

There are also hiking trails suitable for pushchairs, which are particularly suitable for families, and ten wheelchair-accessible hiking trails. If you prefer to go on a longer mountain tour, the Corviglia / Piz Nair, Corvatsch / Furtschellas, Diavolezza and Muottas Muragl / Alp Languard areas offer fascinating high-altitude hikes with a spectacular view.

Whether kiting, surfing, sailing: the legendary Maloja wind makes some water sports possible. The idyllic Lake Silvaplana at 1800 meters with winds of three to six Beaufort ensures the optimal conditions. The lake plateau has long been a cult in the Wind- and kitesurfing scene. The reason for this is not least the kite surfing pioneer Stefan Popprath, who set up his base here a long time ago.

The Swiss-, Europa- and sometimes also world championships in kitesurfing are held on the Silvaplaner- and Lake St. Moritz, which are considered to be season highlights. Try yourself in the trend sport. Stand up paddling is recommended until lunchtime, when it is still quite calm on the lakes, to make the most of the tranquility of nature.
