A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
In the Upper Engadin, you only have to reach out – heaven is at your fingertips: the lakes glisten in the afternoon light, and the pine forests are sweet with fresh resin. So head out into nature – by foot through wild valleys, on skates along the Inn, on horseback over the plains, or on a mountain bike on one of the countless trails for all skill levels. The possibilities are endless.
WE HAVE PREPARED A LIST OF SUMMER ACTIVITIES FOR YOU:
HIKING
580 km of trails in the region for strolling, walking, hiking and tours. A different way leads to happiness for every taste - and some start right at the Castell!
The best about hiking: it does not cost a penny! From the second booked night at the Castell, you get all "mountain railways included" for the duration of your stay
BIKING
Between the highest peaks of the Eastern Alps, a true biking paradise encompasses over 400 km of bike trails for all skill levels that every (mountain) biker's heart beat faster.
GOLF
The Upper Engadine is now a true golf paradise in the Alps - with five golf courses and more than 60 holes. Each course is unique and a world of its own. The par-72 course Zuoz-Madulain impresses with its sophisticated lines in forest terrain and is not more than a hole-in-one away from the Castell. Ten minutes by car upriver the classic 18-hole course of Samedan attracts beginners and pros alike.
