3. Try Engadin Products

There are many reasons why it’s worth discovering the culinary treasures of the Engadin. One is the opportunity to support local producers.

At some Engadin alpine farms, you can also experience how fresh milk is transformed into alpine cheese, butter, or yoghurt.

4. Ride the Bernina Express through the UNESCO World Heritage of the Rhaetian Railway

The train journey from St. Moritz to Tirano passes impressive glaciers and descends to the palm trees of the Poschiavo Valley. This route is one of the most spectacular in the European Alps – and it's environmentally friendly too.

5. Spend time with animals

Some people find happiness on horseback - and a guided ride through the Engadin summer landscape can indeed be a joyful experience. Spending mindful time with horses not only strengthens your connection with the animals but also enhances your own well-being. Those who embrace the experience will find calm, trust, and a deeper connection to nature.

This closeness can also be felt during goat yoga sessions and visits to barns and pastures. Here the focus is on respectful observation and moving in harmony with the rhythm of the animals.

6. Take a Virtual Time Travel to the Morteratsch Glacier

What did the Morteratsch Glacier look like in 1875? What will happen to the Grisons glacier region by the year 2100? At the Bernina Glaciers Experience Center, visitors can explore these questions and learn how climate change is impacting our glaciers.
