Engadin

Engadin

Engadin, also spelled “Engadine,” is an Inntal valley located in the southeastern part of Switzerland’s canton of Graubünden. It is the birthplace of the Romansh language, and the name “Engadin” means “Garden of the Inn” in Romansh—aptly reflecting the area’s breathtaking scenery.

Engadin is world-famous for its sunny climate, picturesque landscapes, and outdoor activities. The region is generally divided into two parts: Upper Engadin and Lower Engadin. Upper Engadin stretches from the Maloja Pass to Zernez, featuring a relatively wide and flat valley, while Lower Engadin extends from Zernez to the Austrian border, where the valley quickly descends and becomes more rugged. Engadin essentially has only two seasons—summer and winter. With nearly six months of winter, it is an ideal destination for snow and ice sports, attracting winter sports enthusiasts from around the globe. Known as a “sunshine city,” Engadin enjoys approximately 322 sunny days per year. In summer, the region is adorned with vibrant beauty, becoming one of Switzerland’s most secluded paradises and a truly enchanting destination.

When the weather is fair and bright, the steady flow of visitors creates a lively and scenic spectacle in Engadin, as tourists from all over the world gather here to enjoy its warm sunshine and elegant vistas.
