WHY VISIT THE ENGADIN?
The Engadin valley is a destination of quiet sophistication, a counterpoint to the more celebrated glamour of nearby St. Moritz. It has historically been a preferred sanctuary for writers, artists, and intellectuals, drawn to its serene landscape and its unique cultural identity.
The valley is home to a rich Romansh heritage, Switzerland’s lesser-known national language, which provides a rare glimpse into a culture that values authenticity and tradition. This is a place where wellbeing is found in the pure, pine-scented air and a deep connection to the earth. Activities here are not about exertion but about immersion—from visiting a local apiary to sample honey, to a gentle hike that opens up to breathtaking, untouched vistas.
It is the perfect place to recharge and reconnect with oneself, surrounded by a landscape of rugged beauty and a community that holds fast to its history and traditions.
WHY VISIT SOUTH TYROL?
South Tyrol offers a fascinating combination of scenic nature, centuries of history, and refined European hospitality, making it the perfect destination for the discerning traveller seeking a holistically luxurious journey. Where else can one find the dramatic, UNESCO-protected peaks of the Dolomites rising above lush, Mediterranean-style vineyards and apple orchards, as well as cypress-lined promenades?
The region’s identity is defined by its unique geographical location, where three official languages—German, Italian, and the ancient, distinct Ladin—coexist, infusing the local culture and, most importantly, the cuisine.
​
Culturally, South Tyrol is a sophisticated tapestry woven with Germanic efficiency, Italian la dolce vita, and the ancient Ladin heritage. The landscape is dotted with nearly 800 castles and manors—historical estates that now house museums or offer exclusive retreats, providing myriad avenues for cultural exploration. The area also offers world-class wellness, from thermal spas to the unique local practice of therapeutic hay baths.
​
For the discerning palate, South Tyrol is an insider’s destination. It boasts one of Italy’s highest concentrations of Michelin-starred and Gault&Millau-awarded restaurants, yet retains a commitment to genuine, rustic flavour. It is a place of deep cultural pride: autumn brings the Törggelen tradition, where locals hike through vineyards to enjoy young wine and hearty fare, a unique social ritual far beyond the typical tourist experience.
​
Whether you prefer a curated mountain excursion along an ancient trail, cycling through apple orchards, or simply savouring a rare Lagrein vintage on a sun-drenched terrace, South Tyrol delivers experiences that are both invigorating and deeply personal, ensuring every moment spent is a moment valued.
