Engadin – The Valley of Switzerland

Engadin is an 80 kilometre long valley which is split into two regions.  Upper Engadin (over 1600 m) has many lakes which were produced through the melting of the glaciers.  The most well known and noble village of this region is St. Moritz.  Lower Engadin bears the stamp of natural and wild beauty.  The river Inn rises in the mountains in Engadin and gathers enormous speed during it’s journey in some parts of the valley.  This is perfect for adventurous canoe and raft tours!

Not far from Zernez is a wide area showing a variety of Alp species at their best.  This area was declared a nature reserve in 1914 and creates the only Swiss National Park.  Discover the Swiss flora and fauna during a ramble.  High above, the kings of the air – the eagles – are circling and searching for prey.  On the edges of the path there are wild plants which cover the Alp regions with a colourful carpet.
