A WINTER FAIRYTALE
With four winter sports resorts, 350 kilometres of slopes, 200 kilometres of cross-country skiing trails, and 150 kilometres of winter hiking trails, the Upper Engadine is one of the most diverse winter sports regions in Switzerland. And of course one of the most beautiful regions as well. No less than 13 resorts, spread out all over the high mountain valley, contribute to making it a breathtaking winter wonderland.
INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WINTER ACTIVITIES IN THE ENGADINE:
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
Welcome to the Mecca of silver tracks. The spirit of the region gets a hold of everybody – as soon as you set foot on the 230 km trail network: from the traditionalists whose steps unswervingly follow the tracks, to those who prefer the more dynamic cross-country style of skating.
Exceptionally well-prepared tracks span the entire Upper Engadine landscape and countless romantic side valleys. Whether you are training for the Engadin Skimarathon, want to test your limits on the racing tracks, or wait until nightfall to glide across the illuminated tracks, you are guaranteed to find the perfect run. The access to the tracks is at the cross-country skiing centre Zuoz.

SKI UND SNOWBOARD
Enjoy the sun on your face and the powdery snow under your skis all day long: 350 kilometres of skiing slopes make this winter wonderland vision a reality. And thanks to elevations between 1,800 and 3,303 metres above sea level, snow is pretty much guaranteed. By the way, you can access the slopes (ski-in/ski-out) and the family skiing resort Zuoz directly at the Castell.
