UNSPOILT NATURE<br />

EXPERIENCE UNSPOILT NATURE<br />

The remarkable climate of the <strong>Engadin</strong><br />

The invigorating climate of the <strong>Engadin</strong> is a consequence of the valley’s location<br />

high in the Alps. Experts describe it matter-of-factly as a dry, continental climate.<br />

As variations in temperature between day and night are as great as those<br />

between summer and winter, conditions are superb. The snow that falls lingers,<br />

making for a white fairy-tale landscape all through the winter, while the dry<br />

cold provides powder conditions rivalled only by those in the Rocky Mountains.<br />

Yet the weather is glorious: in this southerly mountain valley, the sun shines on<br />

average 320 days a year.
