Breathing and Relaxation

Atmen im Engadin
The stillness and vastness of the Engadin create space for conscious breathing. One of the most effective tools for enhancing our wellbeing is our breath. Breathing exercises and restorative pauses help reduce stress and regulate the nervous system.In the clear mountain air, it becomes easier to let go and draw in new energy. In this way, a state of inner balance emerges that sustainably strengthens both body and mind.

«Healing takes place in the pause between exhalation and inhalation.»

Paracelsus (1493 – 1541), Swiss physician

Alp Serlas

Hike to Alp Serlas

Looking for a peaceful spot to take a break from everyday life? Then head out on an autumn hike to Alp Serlas, which will lead you into the unspoilt Val Chamuera. It lies within a beautiful autumn landscape, far from the everyday and beyond mobile phone reception. With a little luck, you might spot bearded vultures and chamois, while the whistling of marmots accompanies you along the way. It is the perfect setting for a digital detox; the quiet mountain world creates space to take in the view, breathe deeply, and be fully present with yourself and with nature.

Try forest bathing

Notice your breath, find stillness, and gradually immerse yourself in the tranquility of the Engadin's natural surroundings. Along the "Senda botanica" between Cinuos-chel and Chapella, a narrow path winds past over 30 species of trees and shrubs. Listen to the rustling of the leaves, breathe in the scent of the forest, and leave everyday life behind for a moment. If you keep your eyes open, you might even spot deer, squirrels, or other local woodland creatures along the way.

Pause on reading benches

In the La Plaiv region, five benches called «Lö da Ler» invite visitors to read and linger in nature. Each bench is accompanied by a small wooden hut with books. Sit down, take in the view, breathe in the fresh mountain air, immerse yourself in stories, and let everyday life fade away.
