why engadine

three villages, one lift pass. st moritz loud, sils maria silent.

The Engadine is the upper valley of the Inn river in Graubünden, sitting at 1,800m for most of its length. It's the sunniest valley in Switzerland — over 320 sunny days a year — and the air is dry-mountain-clear, which is why it became the European elite's winter address in the 1860s.

Three villages anchor the upper Engadine, each with its own register: St. Moritz Dorf (the social capital, Badrutt's Palace, Kulm, the GP, the Cresta Run), Pontresina (6km away, palace-tier without the scene, Grand Hotel Kronenhof), and Sils Maria (12km west, the slowest pace, Waldhaus Sils, Nietzsche's summer village).

All three share the same lift system — Diavolezza, Corviglia, Corvatsch — so the skiing experience is identical regardless of base. The choice is about evening character.

Winter (Dec-Mar): skiing, the White Turf horse-racing-on-ice, the Cresta Run. Summer (Jul-Sep): high-meadow hiking, Lake Sils sailing, the Bernina Express train south to Tirano.
