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.

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.

Here you are in a beautiful place

The Val Fex (Romansh: Fextal, in German it's called Fextal) is a side valley in the Upper Engadine. The road leading into the valley is closed to car traffic; only local residents are permitted to use it. On a racing bike, you can enjoy the climb through the valley to the fullest. The flat sections or sections with short downhill sections make the ride all the more enjoyable.
