Traditionen im Engadin

Over the centuries, traditions have emerged, faded away, and been revived in the Engadin. Some offer a fun way to cool off on warm summer days. Others are meant to chase away winter after long months of snow, while some are rooted in the search for true love.

Chalandamarz has long since crossed regional boundaries, and thanks to the well-known story of Schellen-Ursli and his bell, it is familiar to people throughout Switzerland. During Schlitteda, Engadin couples dressed in traditional costumes enjoy a sleigh ride through snow-covered forests. And when the snow gives way to the sun, young people in Zuoz cool off at San Gian with homemade water pistols.

We hope you enjoy immersing yourself in the world of Engadin traditions and that the anticipation of these unique experiences will grow so strong that you’ll soon be booking your next trip to the Engadin.
