Silvaplanersee is an ideal windsurfing and kiteboarding area with a reliable Maloja wind in good weather. With strong day/night temperature differences, the rocks before the Maloja Pass in Bergell heat up and the wind pulls down the Inn Valley. This effect can be intensified by an approaching bad weather front -> then things really get going. With north wind (Bise) or Julier wind, however, the wind is weak. An ideal starting point for surfing is the Silvaplana campsite at the surf center with a large parking lot.

Julier Pass - Already in the Roman Empire around 2,000 years ago Already in the Roman Empire around 2,000 years ago, the Julier Pass was of great importance. Two columns of a Roman sanctuary still stand on the pass summit today. Today, the Julier pass road is the most important road connection to the Engadin and is passable all year round. In the vicinity of the Julier, you will find numerous hiking and biking routes on which the landscape can be ideally explored. From the Julier Hospiz (pass summit 2284 m a.s.l.), the exploration tour or hike to the clear mountain lake Leg Grevasalvas begins.
