Muottas Muragl is a celebrated viewpoint perched at 2,456 meters above sea level, offering one of the most iconic panoramas in the Engadin region. Visitors ascend via a historic funicular that climbs steeply from the valley floor, a journey that itself provides ever-expanding vistas. At the top, a spacious sun terrace invites you to linger over the spectacle of the Upper Engadin lake district: Lake St. Moritz, Lake Silvaplana, and Lake Champfèr glitter far below, framed by the rugged peaks of the Bernina Range. The site also features a mountaintop hotel and restaurant, making it easy to combine the view with a meal or an overnight stay. For those seeking more adventure, several hiking trails start from the summit, including the famous Lej da Staz loop and the route to the Segantini Hut. In winter, the area transforms into a starting point for toboggan runs and ski tours. What makes Muottas Muragl distinctive is its direct, accessible vantage point that captures the essence of the Engadin landscape in a single, breathtaking glance.
