Winter Bucket List Samedan
1. Mineral Bath & Spa
A bathing jewel in the Engadine - bathing between heaven and earth, church and mountains. Let the unique, mystical atmosphere take you to another world. Located in the middle of the historic village center and attached to the listed church, Switzerland's first vertical mineral bath impresses with its unique architecture by Miller & Maranta. The vertical arrangement of the various baths on three floors means that the bathing experience really "grows" beyond itself - until you can finally admire the Alpine panorama from the outdoor pool high up directly under the church tower. You bathe in mineral water from the spa's own spring, which is taken directly under the building at a depth of 35 m.

Equipment: Internet-enabled smartphone with GPS tracking function, pen and paper, headphones. An additional power pack is recommended.
Station 1: The historic La Tuor watchtower is already 800 years old and yet has remained enviably young: True to its motto "The future has its origins," it is a cultural antenna for the past, the present, and the future. In its museum, learn more about the cultural activities of the Engadin, from art, music, architecture, and crafts to design. www.latuor.ch
Station 2: The Chesa Planta is more than "just" the former ancestral home of the von Planta and von Salis families. Once the largest private residence in the Engadin, it is now the Upper Engadin Cultural Center and a haven of Romansh culture. The cultural archive, now a museum, houses an important library with Engadin collections and estates, as well as the Museum of Home Decor. Our tip: Don't forget to pay a visit to the historic garden with its charming pavilion dating back to 1855. www.chesaplanta.ch

9. Excursion with the steam locomotive
It hisses, steams and chugs: With the power of fire and water, the RhB steam locomotive pulls the red nostalgic carriages through the railway region of Graubünden. What began in 1889 with the opening of the train line from Landquart to Klosters is now a 384-kilometer-long railway network in the middle of the Swiss high mountains. Immerse yourself in the historical world of the steam age and experience a piece of railway history up close in the Graubünden mountains - of course in true style with sound and smoke.
