Samedan travel guide

Switzerland · Top sights · trending spots

St Moritz invented the winter holiday — a hotelier bet some English summer guests in 1864 that they would enjoy the season, and lost nothing. It has since held two Winter Olympics.

Horses race on the frozen lake each February. The Bernina Express leaves from nearby and climbs over a World Heritage railway to Italy. The Engadin's high valley walking is the summer half of the year.

Ranked by Wikipedia language editions — proven fame.

  1. 1

    Nietzsche-Haus, Sils-Maria

    The house at Sils Maria where Nietzsche spent the summers of 1881 and 1883 to 1888, in a small rented room he kept because it was cheap. Thus Spoke Zarathustra was conceived on the lakeside path below. The room is preserved with almost nothing in it, which is the point.
