Engadine
High and remote, fringed with perfect alpine peaks rising to well over 3000m, the Engadine has an enviable snow record. With villages in the valley between 1200m and 1800m and skiable areas up to 2000m, great snow is a near certainty. We pass through woods, glistening meadows and charming alpine villages. Easy cross country skiing loipen weave their way along the valley floor near Zernez, made all the more accessible by the excellent trains and post buses. Further afield there are easy loipen above St Moritz on the lakes to Maloja. At the end of our week there are more challenging options to explore both locally and near Livigno and Val Mustair.
The villages are full of ancient stone chalets whose thick walls and tiny windows keep out the crisp winter air. They are decorated in sgraffito style, designs etched into the plaster to survive at this elevation. This is one of the most charming areas of Switzerland, made all the more perfect by the excellent winter sunshine record - with over 300 sunny days a year, blue skies are the norm.
