Crafts & Culinary Workshops

Spending a day in the Engadin isn’t only about exploring trails and peaks—it’s also about stepping into the creative traditions of the valley. Local artisans open their workshops to visitors, offering hands-on experiences that connect craft, culture and cuisine. You might learn the art of woodcarving, shaping small alpine-inspired pieces while surrounded by the scent of fresh-cut larch. Or you could dive into the kitchen with a baker to master the famous Engadin nut tart, a sweet, buttery pastry filled with caramelized nuts that tastes even better when you’ve made it yourself.

For something more botanical, workshops in natural dyeing use alpine plants and flowers to transform fabrics into works of subtle color, linking age-old techniques with the landscape outside. These sessions are as much about conversation and storytelling as they are about craft, giving a richer sense of place through the people who keep its traditions alive.
