Fascinating Mountain Summer 2018 E a SUMMER 2018 FASCINATING MOUNTAIN SUMMER 2018 An inspiring summer programme Guests staying more than one night in a participating hotel enjoy free mountain railway transport. Further information on page 9. SPORTS AND CULTURE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL Engadin St. Moritz The Engadin has a long tradition of golf at the highest level. In 2018, the Engadine Golf Club celebrates its 125th anniversary. This is Switzerland’s oldest golf club and a real institution. The club’s magnificent courses in Samedan und Zuoz lie at an altitude of 1,700 metres in an unrivalled natural setting. When we consider that as far back as 1889 a 9-hole course was laid out by Lake St. Moritz for a while, we can even say that the Engadin is the cradle of Swiss golf. Alongside golf, the Engadin St. Moritz holiday region offers an endless variety of other sporting activities. This year, the theme of the Swiss mountain summer is “Back to nature”. And for an impressive and eco-friendly experience of nature, it is hard to beat the Engadin. Hardly any other alpine destination can offer its guests such a variety of pristine and spectacular natural landscapes. Explore on foot, by mountain bike or e-bike or on horseback; sail or windsurf across the sparkling lakes; play the scenic golf courses: whatever your preference, the Engadin offers an inspiring setting and a tremendous variety of possibilities for finding your way back to nature – and experiencing it up close. You can look forward to a close-up experience of culture, too, in the Upper Engadin. The organisers of leading events such as the Festival da Jazz, Engadin Festival and the Nietzsche Colloquium invite world-class artists and renowned thinkers to a variety of small but stylish venues in historic buildings or surrounded by nature. With our attractive “Mountain railways and cableways included” offer, you can access our uplifting mountain landscapes easily and inexpensively. Any stay of more than one night at a participating hotel or holiday apart- ment includes your ticket for travel on up to 13 cable cars, gondolas, chairlifts and funiculars in Engadin St. Moritz. Treat yourself to an escape, let yourself be inspired by our dramatic natural landscapes and enjoy an unforgettable holiday in Engadin St. Moritz – whatever your budget.
