Silvaplana in winter
Silvaplana (1815m above sea level) / Surlej/ Champfèr is located in the middle of the wide Engadine lake plateau and surrounded by a striking mountain landscape. The location offers a wide range of activities for anyone who likes to breathe the fresh, dry air and enjoy the unique panorama.
In winter you can choose from a wide and varied range of leisure activities: the lake plateau and snow-covered mountain pine woods provide the ideal setting for long walks. 180km of well-prepared tracks make Silvaplana a cross-country skier's paradise. Kitesailing on the lake, tobogganing on the 1km long toboggan run, snow-shoe treks and an ice stadium with a curling rink guarantee pure winter fun. An aerial cableway with large cabins takes you from Surlej to airy heights just below the Piz Corvatsch (3'303m above sea level) peak. Here you will find an extensive and varied ski area including a snowboard park linked to the Furtschellas pistes and St. Moritz.
Every Friday evening floodlights turn the night into a ski day. The provision of professional avalanche camps has made the Corvatsch particularly attractive for freeriders.Successful, well-established packages such as the Norwegian Week at the beginning of December, Carving Days in December and Snow-shoe Festival in January constitute the winter highlights.
The Coppa Romana, the quintessential curling event, takes place every January.
Silvaplana in summer
However, Silvaplana offers a wide range of relaxing holiday opportunities in summer and autumn as well. The region is just as ideal for fishing as it is for windsurfing, kitesailing, mountain biking and walking. For those who prefer more peaceful activities flower-filled meadows and stone pine forests provide an ideal setting for relaxing while taking in views of snow-covered mountains. Summer events in Silvaplana include the Mountain Bike Cup in June, the Silvaplana Women's Run in July and the internationally established Engadinwind.com Windsurfing and Kiteboarding Cup in August.
