When visibility is good the contours of the Mont Blanc massif can be spotted in the distance. After spectacular runs on perfectly groomed slopes you ski along the Hahnensee-Run down to St. Moritz and from there you take the Signalbahn up again to the skiing area of Corviglia/Marguns. Here the day can be rounded off nicely in one of the many après-ski bars. Those still longing for more can take the funicular up to Muottas Muragl and admire the last sunrays above the valley while enjoying a delicious dinner in the midst of sublime mountain scenery.

10 swiss-image.ch/daniel Martinek WINTER WONDERLAND ENGADINE There is mythical figure in Swiss folklore: «Frau Holle» who shakes her featherfilled duvets in early winter and thus makes the snowflakes fall, covering the valley in a white coat. This is the beginning of the Engadine winter magic. When the lakes freeze over and the snowy-white mountains glitter under a deepblue sky, the Engadine beckons you to enter this wonderland. Take a walk over the frozen lakes and wonder at the wide vistas of the high-alpine valley and the special light of the Engadine a unique experience when the sun is going down. More picturesque winter walks await the visitor in the side valleys such as the romantic Val Fex or the Val Roseg. Those who want to take it easy can experience the snowy landscape from the comfort of a horse-drawn sleigh. As soon as temperatures plummet and the first snow has settled, some hiking paths and pass roads are turned into sled runs. From long downhill stretches to short and easy slopes the Engadine offers a wide variety of sledding options. Anyone wishing to enjoy the most beautiful views of the Engadine in peace and quiet only has to take just a few steps out into the magic mountain world ideally with snowshoes. There is a special charm in discovering untouched forests and snow-covered plains with snowshoes on one s feet it is a good way of finding tranquillity and relaxation in this magical landscape. Hiking through forests in the new snow, to idyllic lookout points and over frozen lakes: the Engadine has so many varied and romantic itineraries. Snowshoe tours under the full moon when the mountains are glistening in the moonlight and a universe of a thousand stars is spreading overhead are an insider tip. With a bit of luck December and January offer a natural phenomenon in a class of its own. When the first snow falls before the lakes freeze over and temperatures then fall dramatically during the night, black ice can form on the lakes. This is the moment to put on your skates and glide over the Engadine lakes or Lago Bianco. swiss-image.ch/christof Sonderegger
