Engadin. Sils
Default alt text
Allegra and welcome!

Writers such as Nietzsche, Dürrenmatt and Kästner, artists like Beuys or Chagall, and musicians such as Strauss, Honegger and David Bowie all drew inspiration from the enchanting wide open spaces and the magical quality of the light in this high-lying valley, and they all played a considerable role in establishing Sils’ international reputation as the cultural centre of the Engadin.

Anyone who looks out over the seemingly boundless expanse of the Silser plain and the deep blue lake will understand Hermann Hesse, who once described the area as the "pre-dreamed paradise". Idyllically nestled between the lakes of Sils and Silvaplana, the village lies at the entrance to the Fex Valley, which is dotted with flower meadows and becomes a fabulously romantic experience on a carriage ride. Walkers will find happiness in the vastness of this sun-drenched landscape, which is said to have special powers.

Those who want to go even higher will find varied and panoramic routes for hiking and mountain tours on the local mountain Furtschellas. The mountain scenery can also be enjoyed impressively on a trip with Europe's highest scheduled boat on the Silsersee.

Nestling idyllically between Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana, the village lies at the gateway to the romantic Fex valley. Abounding in beautiful flower-laden meadows, this valley is a particularly romantic experience when explored in the comfort of a trip by horse and carriage. Hiking enthusiasts will love the wide open spaces of this light-flooded landscape, which is said to be overflowing with life force. On a par with the superlative nature experience is the range of cultural activities in Sils; almost every week, audiences are treated to first-class concerts starring famous artists, classical Sunday afternoon concerts performed outside, as well as a wide selection of readings, talks, guided tours, theatre and exhibitions. In addition, in summer Sils is host to five high-calibre cultural highlights: the Sils Hesse Days, the Wasserzeichen (watermark) concerts, performed on a raft in a picturesque bay of the Chastè peninsula, the Kunst- und LiteraTourtage (art and litera¬ture festival), the Nietzsche Colloquium and the international cultural feast «Resonanzen».
