The Engadin has many faces. What all visitors share is the fascination for the magnificent natural landscape with its intense light, larch forests, mountains, and glaciers, as well as a climate that, despite its freshness, allows one to feel the warmth of the south. The primal, grand, and powerful nature maintains the balance between human activity and the forces of the elements. Early on, the valley in the Swiss Alps, which stretches along the Inn River with liberating expanses and later follows the river into narrow gorges, attracted poets, painters, and musicians, and it remains a popular holiday destination for an illustrious array of guests who stay not only in the elegant and fashionable hotels of St. Moritz. Nestled in this unique landscape is St. Moritz in the Upper Engadin, the cradle of winter tourism in the Alps. The sparkling jet-set atmosphere and an outstanding skiing experience make this place particularly attractive.
