This mineral bath and spa in Samedan can be reached by car in just a few minutes; it is 4 villages away from Zuoz.

The building is located right next to the church and looks inconspicuous from the outside, only the colourful tiles around the windows offer a hint of the interior: Each area of the spa is designed in a different colour and so there are lots of different bathing spaces to suit your mood and taste. These bathing spaces are spread over several floors, one starts on the ground floor and then proceeds upwards to the open-air pool at the top floor. The spa is supplied with sulphurous healing water from its own spring.

The Engadin Golf Club with its two branches in Zuoz-Madulain and Samendan is the oldest golf club in Switzerland and can therefore rightly call itself the “Home of Swiss Golf”. The golf course with its beautiful Alpine backdrop will surely leave nothing to be desired.

In addition to the golf course itself, there is also the Engadin Golf Centre, where young and old can take golf courses. In winter, you can practise your golf skills with the indoor golf simulator. If you want to buy golf equipment, you can do so in the Willy Sport golf shop. The Sur En restaurant caters for hungry golfers.

The “La Plaiv Skate” inline skating route (Switzerland Mobile Route 333) runs for 8.6 kilometres through the countryside from the villages of La Punt to S-chanf. The route is located away from road traffic and is mostly level.

The tour starts in La Punt, after which you cycle down the valley, usually with a tailwind. The starting point is the “Krone” tavern, which is located directly on the river Inn. The skating route leads through the landscape of La Plaiv, past Madulain and on to Zouz. If you wish, you can end the tour there. In that case, you can use the changing rooms and showers at the Zuoz cross-country skiing centre.

If you want to go further, follow the route to its end point in S-chanf. By the way, it is particularly challenging if you skate back along the route, as you are now travelling through the valley uphill.

If you like cycling, we recommend the beautiful river Inn cycle path. The Inn flows through Grisons (Graubünden) in Switzerland, through Austria and on to Passau in Germany.

The cycle path starts in Maloja in the Engadin and initially runs past several lakes. It passes St. Moritz, Samedan and La Punt, among others. From La Punt, the cycle path then continues along the Inn, via Madulain, Zuoz, S-Chanf and onwards via Zernez to the Swiss-Austrian border. How much of the route you want to cycle is of course up to you. In terms of difficulty, this cycle route is easy to moderate.

The Zuoz skiing area is suitable for beginners to advanced skiers, but it is particularly suitable for families with children. There are 5 different lifts to choose from. In addition to downhill skiing, cross-country skiing is of course also possible. For the latter, there are even 4 designated dog trails where you can take your faithful friend with you. No lead is required, of course.

If you need a little more skiing instruction, you can take lessons at the ski school in Zuoz. Ski equipment can be hired or bought at the cross-country skiing centre.

As a family-friendly ski resort, Zuoz naturally also includes a toboggan run.

The best place to start is at the Chastlatsch chairlift. This is specially secured for children, so that children from the age of 4 can use it on their own. The lift ride ends at the mountain hut with the Pizzet restaurant and the toboggan run starts right next to it. From there, the piste descends 1.5 kilometres into the valley.

How about ice skating instead of skiing? There are several options.

One is the Madulain ice trail, which starts in the neighbouring village of Madulain. The path is 2.5 kilometres long and leads through the snow-covered Engadin landscape, always along the river Inn, from Madulain to Zouz. Use of the ice trail is free for children.

Another option is to skate on the Purtum ice rink in the centre of Zuoz. The ice rink is open from mid-December to mid-March and is floodlit in the evening in February. Fun for young and old!

The village of Zuoz consists of many well-preserved traditional Engadin houses and is definitely worth a visit. The centre of the village is the well-preserved village square with the Bärenbrunnen (bear fountain). This is the starting point for regular guided tours of the village, where you can learn lots of interesting facts about Zuoz’s past and present.

The center of St. Moritz may not be large, but it offers a good opportunity to take a leisurely stroll through the old streets, do some shopping and stop for a coffee and cake. For this, we recommend the Hanselmann confectionery. This has been in business since 1894 and is a traditional Swiss confectionery.

Suitable for all ages.

If you are going to Pontresina, we recommend a detour in the direction of the train station to the old Punt Ota bridge, which is located directly under the new Berninabach bridge, the connection between the train station and the village. From this bridge you have an incomparable view of the imposing gorge of Pontresina.

Our recommendation for those who are in St. Moritz for the first time is to visit Lake St. Moritz or Lej da San Murezzan in Rhaeto-Romanic. In summer you can enjoy a leisurely walk around the lake (40-60 minutes) with a beautiful view of St. Moritz village and in winter you can also walk across the frozen lake or skate on it on the approximately one kilometer long ice rink, which is prepared daily for skaters. A cross-country skiing track also runs across the lake.

But this is not all: If the situation allows it, you can also look forward to an ice hockey field, a curling field and a small village with deck chairs, beach chairs, music and food stalls. In addition, skijoring lessons are on the program. Skijoring is a winter sport in which a skier is pulled by a horse on a rope. It is a decade-old tradition on Lake St. Moritz and is celebrated at the annual horse races.

Every winter, well-known events also take place on the frozen lake: the White Turf and the Snowpolo Tournament.

Suitable for all ages.

It is well known that there are many lakes here in the Engadin and Lake Silvaplana is the most popular for water sports enthusiasts, although it is not supervised. Practice of various sports activities at your own risk.
