About this place

Non-skiers get the frozen lake, which hosts polo, horse racing and gourmet festivals on solid ice, plus the Engadin's famously sunny walking paths and hotel bars of cheerful absurdity. Ride the Muottas Muragl funicular at dusk for the best valley view in Switzerland. February is peak spectacle, if the prices don't wind you; January is calmer.
