Spanning 35 miles, the Engadin Valley, in Switzerland, has stunning mountain peaks, renowned ski areas like Corviglia, and one of Europe’s most famous resort towns: St. Moritz. But in-the-know travelers also explore the valley’s other more quaint villages.
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
St. Moritz’s reputation precedes it – with luxury shopping, billionaire chalets and sky-high prices. But the real discovery here is that the town is just a small part of the Engadin. Here is just one example of what our destination experts can create for you.
The Engadin’s ski areas are spread out, and each has its own unique characteristics and draws different types of skiers. Indagare’s travel team can help arrange a car and driver to shuttle you between different mountains. The Corviglia area is the most glamorous while the Corvatsch has the most stunning views and some of the Engadin’s most acclaimed mountainside restaurants. A well-balanced itinerary will include ski time in all.
The Engadin is one of Europe’s most exquisite regions of hiking, including some treks where you overnight in simple mountain huts. Day hikes into various valleys can also be organized, ranging from an easy meandering path around St Moritz lake to a challenging, multi-hour extravaganza that traverses a glacier and ends at a simple mountain hut with glorious views (and no WiFi).
Travelers who don’t like schussing down slopes have myriad activities to choose from, including incredible cross-country skiing, hiking and fantastic spas. Indagare can create a wonderful itinerary for those who prefer to relax in style during their winter holiday, including how to get to the best mountain restaurants via gondola, chairlift or on foot.
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities, including upgrades, early check-in, breakfast, spa credits and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
