The mountains
Encounters with extraordinary peaks!
The South Eastern Alps, the location of the Upper Engadin valley,
are majestic monuments thrust upwards millions of years ago by the meeting
of continental plates. The best known peaks have generated numerous mountaineering
stories - above all the Piz Bernina.
Their unique combination of narrow ridges, lofty peaks and iridescent
blue mountain lakes is quite staggering. The massif around the Engadin
mountain valley has an amazing number of highlights: icy glaciers,
glimpses of the "Ballroom of the Alps" with its and three and four
thousand metre high peaks or Engadin's lakes, a ribbon of silver pools
stretching along the valley floor.
Come and cheer your favourite skier speeding down the slopes!

The Bernina skyline, with its eight peaks and its ice ridges, epitomises almost perfect high mountain scenery, which always casts a spell over people. |
