The Engadine in the Spotlights

20 April 2022

Deep blue lakes and sunny snow-capped peaks – with its landscape and unique light, the Engadine is one of the most spectacular (holiday) destinations and natural environments in the Alps.

The book presents the most important places and beautiful landscapes, from Sent to Sils, Corvatsch to Münstertal.

The Alpine passes, viaducts, valleys, mountains, lakes, villages and towns, rivers and streams, Engadine specialities, the Rhaeto-Romanic language, graffiti and architecture are only some topics discussed.

From the mundane Upper Engadine to the still rural Lower Engadine, the book offers fascinating insights into one of Switzerland’s most beautiful high-altitude valleys, if not Europe.
