The Leaning Tower of St. Moritz A landmark dating back to the 12th century, the Leaning Tower was originally part of St. Mauritius Church, which was demolished in 1890. The tower is 33 meters tall and leans at a 5.5-degree angle—even more than the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa (about 4 degrees less). It is located directly opposite the Kulm Hotel. The tower is not only an impressive architectural feature but also a symbol of St. Moritz's medieval heritage. Visitors can admire and photograph its distinctive tilt from various vantage points in the town center. Its lean is due to the soft ground on which it was built—and yet it has stood steadfast for centuries as one of the most photographed landmarks in the region. The Cresta Rider The life-size bronze Cresta Rider by David Wynne is a gift from the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club to the town for its 100th anniversary. It is located at the foot of the Leaning Tower, near the first streetlamp and opposite the Kulm Hotel.

The story of St. Moritz begins in 1864 The story of St. Moritz, as we know it today, begins in 1864, when hotelier Johannes Badrutt made a bet with his guests from Great Britain. He promised that not only the summer, but also the St. Moritz winter would be so pleasant that on sunny days one could enjoy the sun on the terrace without a jacket. Should his promise prove false, the hotelier would pay for their travel and winter stay. Wrapped head to toe in furs, the group of men crossed the Julier Pass the following December. Upon arriving in St. Moritz, the sky was clear, the sun warm, and Badrutt stood before them to greet them without a jacket and with his shirtsleeves rolled up. Winter tourism was born.

Sils Maria is a historic village in the Engadine, known for its connection to Friedrich Nietzsche and its cultural significance. In the beautiful Engadine village of Sils, at 1802 meters above sea level, everything is a little more intense: the tranquility, the changing seasons, the light, nature – happiness. Vacationers who found St. Moritz too hectic continued on to Sils Maria. That's how it was a hundred years ago; and that's how it still is today. It's palpable at every turn: those who come to Sils want to nourish their souls. And in doing so, they want to experience the warmth of a small village with around 810 inhabitants, where tourism has a long tradition and has been a way of life for over 100 years. Two Hearts, One Soul Sils Maria and Sils Baselgia: Our village has two names because it comprises two settlements. Sils Baselgia grew up around the Church of San Lurench. It was first mentioned in 1356 and still stands today. "Baselgia" is derived from basilica (church). In Sils Maria, the larger of the two villages, the large dairy farm once stood. The name "Maria" refers not to a proper name, but to the term "dairy farm." "Sils" means something like "green meadow" or "long strip of land." This also referred to the Sils lake plain. It is still a "green meadow"—thanks to landscape and nature conservation efforts and the awareness of these values that the people of Sils possess.

Lambrecht Weather Column, Sils A measuring station was put into operation as early as 1863, and the systematic measurement of meteorological parameters began. This makes the Sils weather series one of the longest in the entire Alpine region and highly valuable for observing climate change. The stations were located at various points throughout the village.

A poignant reminder that most things you cycle can be dangerous.

Worth seeing town hall, which fits well into the cityscape

The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche first came to the lake in July 1881 and spent a total of seven summers in Sils Maria until 1888, renting a room on the first floor of the Durisch family's house and working on numerous works, including the second part of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Here, in what he described as a "blood-related" landscape, he found a place that offered him the opportunity for concentration and peace in a perfect climate. He named the landscape around the lake "Perla perlissima" ("Pearl of Pearls"). His former residence, now the Nietzsche House, houses a museum where, among other things, original writings, letters, and first editions can be viewed. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silsersee
