Situated at 8,058 feet, this summit makes for an unforgettable half-day (or full-day, depending on your scheduling) experience. Muottas is accessible via a speedy red funicular that takes day trippers and hikers up to a hotel/restaurant/terrace lounge. From here, a variety of hikes kick off, ranging from short to multi-hour. The views are breathtaking – and the hikes are made even better by the loving details, like benches covered in cozy blankets, inspirational quotes from philosophers and writers on plaques, and look-outs in prime viewing spots along the way.

After exploring the mountain, return to the acclaimed restaurant and settle in for a long meal, followed by coffee, followed by drinks. There's no rush to get back down – this is truly one of the Engadin's most fabulous vistas. For those who cannot tear themselves away, the hotel has sixteen minimalist-chic rooms, and while there is not a lot to do up here beyond the hikes (and the funicular closes at 11 p.m.), waking up here, perched high above the world, can be a very special experience. During the summer, the restaurant sometimes hosts music performances, and dinner – when the days are long and the sun sets late – are very romantic.

Indagare Tip: When there is enough snow, Muottas Muragl offers a way to toboggan back down. Be aware that this is a steep, at times fear-inducing run and should not be tempted with young children.
