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.
Welcome to the Engadin.

Location description: Silvaplana is considered the lively, young "trend spot" in the Engadine.Summer: Surrounded by a dreamlike, unspoilt nature and embedded in the wide Upper Engadine lake landscape, this enterprising leisure paradise has become one of the international destinations for sailors, windsurfers and kiters - and the stage for their lifestyle. Because you won't find better conditions far and wide: reliably like Swiss clockwork, the Maloja wind kicks in around midday, catches wildly in the sail planes and makes the kites dance - especially impressive at the big international competitions such as the "Engadinwind", the windsurfing and kitesurfing regatta or the Engadin surfing marathon on Lake Silvaplana.Winter: On the doorstep is the Corvatsch, a local mountain with unlimited possibilities for winter sports enthusiasts. But this is not the only reason why Silvaplana has become a meeting place for sports enthusiasts: it is the ultimate paradise for snowkiters. Ever since the spectacular sport was invented on the frozen Silvaplana lake, trendy sportsmen from all over the world have been waiting almost every day for the Maloja wind to kick up around midday and let the kites dance in the blue Engadine sky or chase them across the plain. However, the place also has its quiet sides: Surrounded by an almost unreal, beautiful, pristine landscape with wide, frozen lakes, forests covered in snow, quiet hiking trails and magnificent cross-country ski runs in the midst of the mystical Engadine mountains, it also opens up the best views to those who do not find their moments of happiness in thrills.
