Lake Silvaplana, located in the Upper Engadine, is a natural jewel nestled among the majestic Swiss Alps. Famous for its constant winds, particularly the "Malojawind," it is a true paradise for lovers of water sports, such as windsurfing and kitesurfing. In summer, its crystal-clear waters reflect the peaks of Piz Corvatsch, creating breathtaking views. In winter, the frozen lake transforms into a vast natural rink for skating, cross-country skiing, and even horse racing. A place that enchants in every season.

Hiking
Walking this trail above Lake Silvaplana, you will have a breathtaking view of the turquoise waters, the result of glacial minerals, framed by imposing Alpine mountains. From here, you can also admire the peak of the nearby Corvatsch mountain.
