Upper Engadine Lakes

view map

Between Maloja and St. Moritz, the Upper Engadine lake plateau presents itself sometimes almost as a kitschy tableau. Besides the four big lakes (St. Moritz, Silvaplana, Champfèrer and Silser) a large number of romantic mountain lakes are hidden in the forests.The beauty of the lake plateau, located at an elevation of 1,800 meters has inspired many poets and thinkers. Where water sports enthusiasts and recuperation-seekers frolic in the summer, leisure walkers, trekkers and snowkiters can be found in winter on the thick layer of ice on the frozen lakes. Thanks to the steady Maloja wind, you will find ideal conditions here for surfing and sailing.
