Follow us on our winter adventure through Switzerland!
Known for its never-ending sunshine and its magnificent mountain scenery - the Engadin is a high alpine valley in Switzerland’s southeastern canton of Graubünden. Staying at Giardino Mountain for 10 nights, we experienced numerous exciting winter sports activities that make a visit to the Engadin an unforgettable experience.
