Larches and islands

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, you have a wonderful view of the many larch trees in the delta, as well as the small islands in Lake Sils. The larches turn golden in the autumn, incredibly beautiful.

Lambrecht Weather Column, Sils Maria

Highlight • Monument

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.

Sils in the Engadine

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Isola Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Waterfall and old buildings, what more could you want. A stop here is worth it and the few meters walk away from the bike path either way.

This was a last little exploratory round for planning the hiking weeks in Celerina July/August.

We really liked Lake Sils and the hike, but then probably from Sils to Maloja, will definitely be included in the program of the Insieme Hiking Weeks.
